So they have enough staff and SSL's to run this but not to put the SSL on the Eagle? Kind of irritating

SSL???

Superliner Sightseer Lounge!

I would suggest you look at this thread to see abbreviations used here.

There's only one trainset used for this service, right? One daily out and back run.

It's very believable that they have only one available Sightseer Lounge.

Here's an excellent 30-minute documentary by local PBS covering the Ski Train's history and staff:

I finally got a chance to watch the documentary, it was well done so thanks for posting it. Conductor Brad sure enjoyed his work.

Nice video with some good history of skiing in Colorado and the ski train.

Excellent video, thanks. I've shared these before but here's what it looked like in 1968. No fancy loading platform needed! Amtrak could use more employees with the enthusiasm and expertise of conductor Brad.

Correct just one. They are putting a Sightseer back on the Eagle in March so it’ll be a moot point.
