I thought 27 only operated with two coaches normally?

Number 27 runs with 4 cars nowadays.

The lounge, a sleeper, and a coach. I haven’t been paying close-enough attention to say whether the fourth car is a coach, or sleeper.

But the one that is for sure a coach is a coach-baggage.

Stan in Vancouver could probably say for sure. The train always goes through there in daylight.

Gone, long gone, are the days when 27 ran with 5 cars.

Oh, my single-level, off-season Empire Builder Portland section, in Viewliner form, would have a lounge, at least one coach, a sleeper and a baggage-dorm with most of its roomettes for public sale.  Just trying to get with the apparent new future in long-distance equipment.
