Passenger Trains > Amtrak Refresh

Anyone  been in  a  REFRESH  Superliner  Lounge?  All  booths  now  I  hope  not.   Certainly  hope  they kept  50% outward  facing  seats.  Any reports??  And  found  a  way  to not  fill downstairs  boots  with  con bon and  cardboard  boxes!!  Teally nic place to  ride  whe not  filled  with storage.

I went on the internet and searched "refresh superliner lounge" and a link came up with a lot of pictures of all the types of cars.

I rode in one a few months back. Everything was the same. Just new seating material. Half the car is tables and the other half was still chairs.

I can't even understand what you're asking when your sentences make no sense.  Please take a minute to read what you type, and correct it as needed.

I did see a refreshed superliner sitting in Chicago recently that appeared to be all booths. There was a sightseer on train 392 tonight from Carbondale for axle count, the lights were off, so could not tell on that one. 

The refresh is just supposed to be new cushions and carpeting etc. Was on one last November and that's all that had been done - not additional booth seating etc. But who knows, Amtrak could have changed their mind and decided to make it "all booths" so they had another car to be Superliner food service substitute car. But I'd think the one half with booths and such is sufficient. 

Thank  you.

Just got off the City of New Orleans a couple of hours ago.  Upholstery in the lounge car looked brand new, so maybe this was one of the cars you are talking about.  Still has outward facing seats, and the downstairs is still full of cardboard boxes.

Spell check? 

And could be nice downstairs if the crew didn't tie up all the tables.

But that has nothing to do with the "refresh".

Well, maybe not.  If they were serious, desigating ONE booth for crew might be useful.   There wassupposed to be a specific space in the trans-dorms, but when they are parked, not very useful.
