I took #29 WAS-CLE on the 15th, and #30 on the 26th. In both cases, the trains were 90% full, which was a surprise.
When I boarded #29, I found out why. There was one and only coach car. The conductor announced the locked down one behind it was being taken to Chicago for repairs,
On #30, the train was bass-ackwards; the sole coach was first, then the un-dining car, and last the sleepers.
So who stole the rest of the fleet?
