Cabs Cars Back on the Hiawatha Service Trains
Author: MNR225

Former F40 cab-baggage cars have returned to Hiawatha Service trains.  The photo depicts Saturday's (04-17-21) Train 331 at downtown Sturtevant, WI.

Has Amtrak resolved Siemens Charger reliability issues or is the assignment more a function of the improved Midwest weather?  Normally, these trains have been running with Chargers on either end.

I thought it was no one in Chicago knew how to maintain 26L brake valve on the Cabbages.

Do the Hiawatha trains now carry business class? There is an Amfleet car next to power.

No business class on the Hiawatha Service.  The Amfleet car carries Wi-Fi equipment.

The trains have been selling out and the crews have to open the cafe car to ensure social distancing. You can snag table and business class seating if you're the first to board in Milwaukee or Chicago. There is no food service though.

That is selling out at reduced capacity?

I thought the Cabbages had the WiFi apparatus since there is no food service, never has been. Most Hiawatha photos I have seen are all coaches. I thought only food service cars have the Wifi bases. They generally put Amfleet on the ends since they get the brunt of the snow, which Horizon cars don't handle very well.
