I did wonder why I've seen only two sleepers on the Southwest Chief #3 the last two nights. Is this also the case for train #4?
Why on earth would Amtrak do this if there continues to be demand for as much sleeper space as possible?
By the way, what is "AT?"
Yes, whatever is on 3 will be on 4, they're the same consists running different directions.
There is no plumbing the minds of Amtrak equipment planners. Hopefully when the sleeper was withdrawn at least they didn't boot out any passengers with reserved space as the geniuses did a wholesale for months across multiple trains a couple years ago. With that said, they are still short of equipment.
AT is Auto Train. The apple of executive management's eye, right next to the NEC.
