Passenger Trains > Silver Meteor #109Date: 11/30/19 14:04 Silver Meteor #109 Author: twropr Today (Sat) the train left Miami an hour earlier. Twitter had a noticed saying this was to accommodate holiday business.
Train has 12 cars - same as it has had since Wednesday, so I am not sure why the schedule adjustment was made - unless they intend to make a same day turn to #97 in NY tomorrow and use equipment from 98-29 (which would normally turn as 97-01) to fill out other trains.

Not sure about revenue producing, but it had a baggage car and a new bag/dorm car on the end.

Anytime I bring up riding Amtrak to friends and family, the first thing they ask is "how was the food in the dining car?"
