Fewer coaches are needed, making these cars available. WPE would like to operate over holidays but Amtrak could not provide equipment until after.

Sounded like E8s with open headers on Steroids and in stereo! Thanks for the video! Date: 01/03/19 06:13 Re: #5 at Clarendon Hills with Ski Train Equipment Author: kbehling #7 and #8 are already running with just one Seattle Coach.

Ski train has only 6 cars that are coaches. Weren't there 7 in prior years ? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/03/19 11:28 by joemvcnj.

This year though they exchanged a coach for a sightseer lounge so they could sell alcoholic beverages on the way back. The lounge car with food/beverage sales was the most requested item on passenger surveys in the last two years of the train running.
