If you’re suggesting a 3rd party do this it would be difficult. As I mentioned above, Amtrak management made it very difficult for Iowa Pacific to operate and that was BEFORE Amtrak got stricter with private car policies.Of course, Anything is possible and maybe the right company could talk the new head of Amtrak into giving it a go.As for staffing, if it was 1 sleeper and the ssl as parlor car that would only require 2 service staff members. When Iowa Pacific was operating on the back of the city of New Orleans they operated with 1 Pullman conductor, 1 porter, and 1 chef. That was with 1 sleeper and 1 diner / lounge / sleeper. So pretty much the same type of setup.
