Author: reindeerflame They probably will end up on the new VIA Churchill Express trains.
Date: 05/08/18 12:00 Re: What is Happen to Amtrak Pacific Parlour Cars?? Author: andersonb109 Because they are high level cars with no lower level access to adjoining cars, that limits where they could be used. VIA currently doesn't have any high level equipment.

Yes, and as long as the cars pass inspection and meet the standards they were good to go. How do you think heavyweights are still running?

It will be interesting indeed since they are high level. I'm prepared to make an offer on one if the price is right. Posted from Android |
