Wonder if that also means traditional dining will return?

I could see both as a temporary for the final 4 in San Antonio the end of March.

That's gonna put a wrench in my plans going from SA to Chicago

Good News Gang. According to Jim Mathew's, the Sightseer Lounge is returning to the Texas Eagle March 3

Next: Traditional Dining and hopefully some affordable Rooms in the usually Sold Out/ High Bucket Sleeper.

UP does trackwork in the Spring on this route, but usually there are Detour Routes and / or bustitutions during the Trackwork!

There's no reason to think it would come back just because of the addition of the SSL; they aren't a pair. SSL is coming back, I believe, because they finally got enough SSL's back into operation. Pretty sure traditional dining requires some extra funding, and probably hiring more OBS.
