#6 arrives in Galesburg with expanded consist
Author: Railfan2

Train # 6 arrives into Galesburg with 4 engines and 17 cars included the Ski Train consist.  Ski train cars very dirty!

Any idea about plans for the Superliner cars?  If Amtrak launched a program to deep clean and tighten up hard-used cars in daily service, this could be a good swap out set. Pull four cars off the CONO, put these cleaned cars in their place, then put the 4 cleaned CONO cars back and take 4 more. Continue on to the Builder, Zephyr, etc for a continuous improvement process

In reality, they should assign some of the costs of missed connections off #6 back to the ski train, because of the huge delays incurred with the deadhead move.
