Passenger Trains > Sounder cars on AmtrakDate: 12/27/09 11:29 Sounder cars on Amtrak Author: sp219 ...soon
I spotted a couple of Sounder cars at Amtraks 8th street yard about an hour ago. I would assume these are the ones Metrolink leased and are ready to go back to Sound Transit. The Metrolink decals have been removed. I don't know when they will be leaving. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/27/09 11:30 by sp219.

Looks like part of the Metrolink "rainbow" is gone. Date: 12/27/09 13:03 Re: Sounder cars on Amtrak Author: Jaanfo Aww, I didn't ever get my picture of the train when it was half and half, was wandering around about a week ago with three Metrolink coaches, two Sounder Coaches and a Sounder Cab Car.
I'm assuming the last of the leased Sounder coaches have to be back in Seattle by the first of the year. Date: 12/27/09 19:54 Re: Sounder cars on Amtrak Author: railstiesballast My favorite lucky image of the Sounder Set. January 08 near Haven Ave. in Rancho Cucamonga.

Rick Date: 12/28/09 08:30 Re: Sounder cars on Amtrak Author: Macster Everyone seems to love our cars. We are getting even better, more comfortable seating in the cars. These cars are scheduled to be converted to the new seats shortly after they arrive. Looking forward to that!

I am living in New Jersey and last summer I rode that train from Stockton to San Jose. I noticed that there were many other passengers on board who seemed to know about that service.

Date: 12/30/09 20:46 Re: Sounder cars on Amtrak Author: Railrev Looked like part or all of Sounder cars went north from LA yesterday (12-29). Starlight consist was still in the wash rack when we went by on Metrolink. Couldn't tell how many were on the head end.
