Car probably came from the LSL Boston section.

Lets see if the Amfleet II gets "restored" back to the Lake Shore Limited or whatever train it was taken from during the "winter period."

Per the story, the extra car will start today with train 23, the morning train from Mobile.  The evening train from NOLA, train 26, will have the extra car for its trip back to Mobile.  Train 24, the morning train from NOLA will not have an extra car and, consequently, train 25, the return from Mobile will not either.

From what I understand, there has been a protect coach in New Orleans since service started. They have been adding it on weekends only. It seems it will run daily through Mardi Gras season. Not sure if there is an "extra for the extra" or just the one.
