Posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed May 20 19:18:15 2015, in response to Re: Major Amtrak derailment in Philly, posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed May 20 17:37:54 2015. Mystery solved!Up until 2003, both the NYP and BOS sections had a diner car. Depending on which section was in the lead when the train was assembled in Rensselaer to head west, only ONE of the cars would head west and the other would be sent back. The send back was usually on the next NYP eastbound since they ran more often, thus it was the Bostom diner that continued on to Chicago. In 2003, budget cuts stripped off the Boston diner entirely and it was replaced with a lounge car until 2008. As of 2008, it got a plain old club car except during the busy season when it would again get a diner car for most runs. And again, one diner would get dropped off at Rensselaer, more often than not the Boston one. Hope this helps, just inquired of a buddy who is one of the conductor pool for that run. |
