Is this in addition to the one normally placed behind the baggage car? How did that impact switching out #27's cars at Spokane?

The two business cars - Snoqualmie and Tehachapee and the American View track measurement car were NOT attached to the back of the Empire builder #8 going back towards Chicago yesterday (Saturday 8/30 at 3:45pm) in Skykomish, WA. I will keep a lookout for them today and tomorrow. Konrad Date: 08/31/14 09:18 Re: Varnish Through Skykomish Author: jcaestecker I see now where your foam is being distributed. Enjoy your time up there and thanks for the fodoz.

Date: 08/31/14 20:27 Re: Varnish Through Skykomish Author: kgrr But what about the Amtrak track inspection car American View? Where did it go?
Date: 09/01/14 18:38 Re: Varnish Through Skykomish Author: The_Chief_Way it was to go south
Date: 09/01/14 18:45 Re: Varnish Through Skykomish Author: garr What is the history of American View? Was it one of the original Viewliners from back in the '80s or was it the early '90s converted to the track observation car?
