Depends on the hosts railways computers, but others say it is amtraks as there is 1041 today back east

jumping back to ski train, power was split up for the return trip, maybe to swap an engine and  maybe to add the coach being added to the WPE with the conductor riding the rear unit, since there isn't mu capacity of the the lounge car or  more iirc

The e/b gets better. One engine is doing 79 in the rear the forward engine 0.  Brace for a slack run in.  Train is a 33 mile psr beast Amtrak has put out an advisory to hold on to your ☕️    


Crew members got the message now it seems

What is WPE?

> hope not to many passengers were unconvinced

Unconvinced about what?

Inconvenienced.  Me or Siri? WPE is winter park express, which operated with one less coach thru fri sat sun  after it was b/o, with one less coach 60 or so less seats than planned, so if all the tix were sold  prior .  Thurs is a light day,  so i doubt anyone was affected, think they had a sale for thurs with $9 dollar tickets one way, prior, saturday is the busiest day typically, last night they may have switched  coach that was dropped off for today, mon, and #6 had four engines , have not looked yet to see if one  or two was dropped off to rotate a WPE out for perhaps an inspection in chi
