In terms of Superliner equipment, what about having the Capitol Limited go to single level and utilizing their Superliners for expanded North Coast Hiawatha.
There's been studies about having the Pennsylvania link up with the Capitol Limited in Pittsburgh. Having all single level fleet makes that easier. The View liner production line is open now, the new administration can add on to existing orders for additional diners, sleepers etc.. and get them on property quickly. Coaches is where they're going to be tight.
Speaking of coaches, doesn't California utilize some Amtrak long distance Superliner equipment on their California State supported services. I've seen them mixed in with their own equipment. Hopefully those can go back to Amtrak with the new California Siemens orders.
