Why spend that amount when Amtrak seems to have a few spare dining cars :):):)
I have traveled recently on the "Lake Shore LTD... and they were very nice !!!
I know externally they are different with the double set of windows but they are brand new !!!
Just my two cents worth...

I knew it was somewhere.

Both trains 64 and 65 usually have LRC consists which means the business class car would have 2+1 seating. In the rare case that the consist or just the business class car is substituted with HEP 2 then it's likely there will be 2+2 seating although at least one HEP 2 business car has been upgraded...

I 'm going to Montreal on train 64 and returning on train 65 on my Halifax trip and am wondering what the consist of these trains are???

Thank you VERY much !!! :-D :-D :-D :-D
