My wife and I rode the Chief from LA to Chicago about two years ago. At that time there was quite a bit of express behind us, and there was a sleeper at the end of the coaches. We were in the rear sleeper. <br /> <br />The car was newly refurbished. The crew even showwed us the "rebuilder plates" that showed the car was just out of Beech Grove. I was told that the reason for the extra car was the heavy demand for the accomodations. They also said that this was one of the first revenue runs for this car since its rebuilding, so the statement above about deadheading may be accurate.
