The Pennsylvanian is a Pittsburgh to New York Penn Station train.  If it had a connecting Superliner sleeper and coach from or to the Capitol, the cars could not operate through the Hudson River tubes into Penn Station.  I am not sure whether they would fit into 30th Street Station. If the decision were to use Superliners for the through cars, a transition car would be necessary since the Pennsylvania has single level cars.  When I rode it last summer it had four coaches and a food service/business class car.   Even if the high level cars could fit through the tunnels into Penn Station, Amtrak does not have enough high level cars to re-equip the Pennsylvanian.   It appears the team that recommended a through sleeper from the Pennsylvanian to the Capitol Limited and vice versa did not think through all the problems doing so would entail.
