[quote user="jimmylow"] <p>Does anyone know the consist configuration of the Amtrak Sunset Limited (LA to New Orleans) Eastbound and Westbound (New Orleans to LA)?</p><p>Is any Superliner coach added or removed along that route?</p><p>Thks[/quote]</p><p>I ride the Sunset two or three times a year. My last trip was in late February, when I rode the train from El Paso to Austin.</p><p>The Sunset normally consists of a loco, transition sleeper, New Orleans sleeper, dinning car, lounge car, New Orleans coach, New Orleans baggage coach, Chicago coach and Chicago sleeper. The Chicago cars come off the eastbound Sunset at San Antonio and become part of the Texas Eagle from San Antonio to Chicago. Westbound the cars come off the Eagle and are attached to the Sunset. </p><p>Amtrak shows the Eagle as a through train from LA to Chicago and vice versa, but beyond San Antonio the two through cars are attached to the Sunset Limited. </p><p>The Texas Eagle normally has a loco, transition sleeper, sleeping car, dinning car, lounge car (not staffed) and two coaches. </p><p>During heavy travel periods a third coach may be added to the Sunset as well as the Eagle.</p>
