Passenger Trains > 21 Lounge

Just saw the on time SB Eagle 21 at South Fort Worth and it  was just 5 cars long and no lounge.  Does anybody know if that is just today or are they takint the lounge of the LDs or just the Eagle?

Thanks for a reply.

The Capitol Limited and Texas Eagle have BOTH had their Superliner Sightseer Lounge REMOVED, while the City of New Orleans and most other Superliner trains do have a Superliner Sightseer Lounge - for now. It's like there's a shortage or anything - just the opposite. It gives the Texas Eagle and Capitol Limited the ability to use the SUperliner Cross Country Cafe as the single use food service car, even though they could just close the lower level of the Sightseer Car and still have it in as part of the consist. REDUX, REDUX, REDUX!

Now that the timetable is fixed, they better add the lounge back to deal with the increase in patronage!!
