Westbound, No. 7, the Empire Builder, departs Chicago on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.  Eastbound No. 8 departs Seattle on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  The same schedule applies to the Portland section.

 

I don’t have any information regarding the consist.  The Texas Eagle, as an example, dropped the transition sleeper, lounge car, and one coach.  It consists of a sleeper, which runs through to LAX, dining/lounge car, and two coaches, one of which runs through to LAX.
