Thanks 081552, sounds promising.  I would still like to hear of someone actually seeing a PPC in the consist of the CS.

I'll drive by the yard tomorrow morning and let you know. They were parked earlier in the week.

 

One car still parked on Tuesday.

I am still looking for information on whether or not the Pacific Parlour Cars have been restored to the Coast Starlight.  They should have been restored as of the 13th of this month.  I hope that someone out there who lives on or near the CS route through California, Oregon & Washington will report on thins.  Thanks in advance.

This is the day that according to the Amtrak website, the Pacific Parlour Cars were to be restored to the Coast Starlight.  The service notice has been removed from the Amtrak website.  Does anyone know if they are back in service as of today?
