Passenger Trains > Tripple power StarlightDate: 01/08/12 15:51 Tripple power Starlight Author: walstib I was a little surprised to find three locomotives on the Coast Starlight today when I caught it at Elkhorn Slough south of Watsonville. (At least they all matched this time!)
Thanks for looking    Date: 01/08/12 15:52 Re: Tripple power Starlight Author: walstib And one more....
 Date: 01/08/12 17:31 Re: Tripple power Starlight Author: andersonb109 So they can find three units to put on this train but leave the Eagle stranded in Texas with just one?

Date: 01/09/12 14:39 Re: Tripple power Starlight Author: chakk Definitely a peak season consist with 3 sleepers and 4 coaches. Rode 6(7) over the weekend and it had 3 coaches -- with two of them used almost exclusively for "shorts" EMY-RNO and GSC-DEN. Even without the snow, there seems to be lots of weekend traffic to Reno-Reno and to the Glenwood Springs area.
