The lounge and coaches should be Amfleet IIs while the sleepers,diner and baggage are Viewliner I and IIs . One of the Viewliner II sleepers made it through to Boston this month, the 62517. The Amfleet II lounge replaced an Amfleet I club/dinette at the begining of August. The lounge ,2nd head car,is the only space open to passengers traveling coach to visit during their travels. It can be a long walk for New England passengers in the sleeper that want to visit the diner for the " flexible dining" meal service; also a long walk if the sleeping car attendant is picking up your meal for you to enjoy in your room.
