Amtrak Trains 11/14; 3/4,
Posted by Daylight 51 on Thursday, July 20, 2006 3:46 AM
Hello.

I am making a model of the Coast Starlight in Phase III.  As I recall, at times during its history, Amtrak has had a policy of running no more than 18 cars per train (and likely adheres to this policy now).  Also, at times, the consists on trains 3/4 and 11/14 have reached that limit.  Does someone out there have data on this?  I am particularly looking for a list of cars (type and number) on each of these trains on a particular day sometime during the time when Phase III reigned supreme.  The dates don't matter a whole lot as long as the consists were at maximum that day.  If the power is not known, that is not much of a problem either, but I would prefer a complete consist for each, including the power and any private cars that might have been on the train.

Thank you.
