You mean the other 5, or the REST of the bags?
The post from mgl1978 shows a "half batch", LOL.
So we're up to 48. I figure one car a week now, gets us to the full 70-bag-car order by the end of this fiscal year (maybe one or two short at worst).
Then the diners, crucial for cost cutting. Get a "batch" of 10 by the holidays? What a nice present that would be! Get the rest of the diners by this time next year, barring some problem bigger than under-performing shelving or over-performing heating units.
Get the short order for 15 bag-dorms by the end of Fiscal 2016. Begin getting sleepers in Fiscal 2017.
So we wait until FY 2017 to see added capacity, more revenues, greater utilization of diners, etc. But hey, we've waited this long, another couple of years won't hurt too bad.
Still hoping for part of the 70-car option order. We probably don't need the full 70, because rail funding was shut off by Congress. So we don't have any more frequencies or new routes to use them all. But a handful of diners and bag dorms, and another 20 or 25 sleepers would be great for even the near term.
Perhaps get enuff new cars (along with the handful used in the Midwest and Cali that will be replaced by bi-level cars in 2017) to change the Capitol Ltd. into a single-level train, and send its three sets of equipment out West to the Superliner trains while they wait and wait and wait for a replacement order for their aging fleet. There's still enuff time to find some more money.
