The problem with the federal government is that getting replacement equipment is hard enough even with Democrats. Given that we have to deal with Republicans for the foreseeable future, converting Amfleet cars for an experiment would be a far easier sell than buying new cars. Not to mention I am talking about this as an experiment to have overnight trains between city pairs to someday justify a car order. When I looked up the Viewliner order, the first on was supposed to be over 200 cars and only 50 came. 



I was figuring slightly staggered ones of those for the sake of trying to get extra seats in the car.



But But But economy options have to appeal to sleeper car passengers and consumer tastes from the 1950s! I don't get why arguing for something is seen as arguing against what already exists.
