Going through the latest Virtual Railfan video... Southwest Chief 4(31) hauling LA Metrolink coaches?!? And that's before the sleepers. What happened there? Amtrak borrow some coaches?

For that, I'd need be trackside for whenever #4(31) makes the scene today.Southern California Regional Rail Authority. Some quick Googling also shows a possible retrofit of front-facing cameras in Chicago... but I doubt you'd need to go there for that work.
Possibly Beech Grove landed a contract to overhaul those LACMTA cars (or whatever that agency is now known as).

One car is the Slerper Berlin; the other two - former UP - a Sleeper and a Dome Obs with an Open Platform. These cars are liveried much like the Berlin in Wagon Lit Blue and Cream.
Anyone?
