Train on 2/17-2/19 will be operating from CUS on 3-hr RT dining trains. I'm curious what the route is, although they mention the "King's Dinner" which was the hallmark offering of IC's Panama Limited. My first guess, then, is up/over the SCAL to CNIC thence to Homewood and back. That's not very scenic, though. And really, there's nothing other than that even hinting at routes - it could be out of CUS-North for that matter. I hope to nail down CUS-North or CUS-South so I can grab a few pics.

No sign of the passenger equipment.Iowa Pacific operates a switching line in Bensonville and I believe they plan to store their passenger equipment on that property between runs.

How quickly the Viewliner Is get rebuilt is obviously going to depend on funding, but it would not unreasonable to expect a few of the Vw Is to be rotated out of service for rebuild for a period of several years.
Definitely curious to see what becomes of such a plan. There's definitely a demand for Amtrak sleeper space. The new Viewliner Sleeper II's are still a couple years away of being fully deployed into the system. And then there's the issue of whether Amtrak will haul the present Viewliners into the shops for an overhaul so as to match the new Viewliner II's!
