Passenger Trains > Amtrak Coming, And Amtrak Going

A tardy number 27 meets an oil train at Tokio, east of downtown Ritzville this morning.

Coming, and going shots.

Three cars? Is this a one-off, or are both sections of the Builder down to one coach? 'Spose it could be a b/o sleeper though.

Pretty sure I saw it was a coach that was not included in the consist and this is NOT good. Course with all the Ventures, Horizons, etc. freezing up in Midwest, now the Superliner coaches have to sub as both axle cars and corridor cars (e.g. Borealis left Chicago today, 1/25/2025 with three Superliner Coaches. Two more coaches than they'd give the Capitol Limited in recent years!

7 had 7 cars to Seattle, so one of 27's cars must have been bad ordered along the way or at Spokane,whatever,and was sent to Seattle for repair.8(25) had the normal 6 cars eastbound,so said car was left at SEA.

Cold air sure tightens up the track and makes it look great!
