QUOTE: Originally posted by jeaton spf Well I got them, of course, since I would have liked to get some shots out the back window. I understand that they run until the contract expires. Jay

The only lower connection is the transition car/ crew dorm that connects to the baggage cars. It's been a long time since I've seen the old Santa Fe El Capitan high level cars that inspired the Superliners, but I think they are the same. I read somewhere that Amthrax retired the El Cap cars, but never heard their fate. (Sold, sitting at Beech Grove or scrapped?).... For the unitiated, the El Cap cars look similar to the Superliners, are just slightly shorter in height and have corrugated metal sides instead of smooth metal sides. mc
QUOTE: Originally posted by goduckies they have 4 cars in the Coast Starlight Parlor Car service. They have been done up real nice, and there was a plan to add those cars to other trains as well, but I think that it fell through. Brad
