California Zephyr with Northern Sky
Author: Agent

I caught the westbound California Zephyr with perhaps a bit of extra horn as it came through Agency, Iowa this evening.  Amtrak #5(30) also had an extra car in the form of Northern Sky Charters' Northern Sky dome car.

Is that car coming to Oakland?

This is the car whose trip was cancelled two days before departure as discussed at length in this thread.

Obviously whatever problem they had was resolved as they are on their way. Given the Amtrak bashing that occurred in that thread, some of which by me, it would be instructive to hear the back story on what happened and what was done to make the trip possible.
