Some of it is "future proofing" The new bag cars will have bike racks, instead of carrying them in boxes, I won't be shocked if Congress forces the "pet carrying pilot" to be expanded, and they may push the pallet freight business a little more. That being said, I agree with you about the S/L baggage coach. To be honest, if I'm in a S/L sleeper, I usually put any larger bag in the rack downstairs and don't use checked baggage either. A train with 2 sections like the LSL is using 2 bags on each of 3 sets for a total of six. I doubt there even half full, but they go to different end points so it still takes 2 cars on each set. Wouldn't be surprised to see one become a bag dorm so you get back a half a cars worth of rooms to sell. |
