Hardly. :(We're dealing with foamers and idiots here who INSIST that just like there's always an R68-something on the D train, then Amtrak will always make up the same consist for each train every time. :) I've only ridden into here from Boston maybe 12 times since 1976. There was USUALLY a diner car since the Boston section of the Lake Shore usually arrives here just around dinner time these days. It USED to be a lot later and with an 8'ish hookup here to head west, passengers would be MIGHTY grumpy after the 5+ hour trip across CSX' rails if they couldn't eat until they got here. But hey ... what do I know? I guess I never tipped those waiters and should get my money back after a fine meal. (grin) WHICH diner went west (when there WAS one) might have been as simple as making sure that ONE diner car managed to make it to Chicago. Amtrak's been through a lot of shit over the years, and protecting your premiere train can take many forms around here. Folks who are NOT from the city don't piss and moan, they reach for their gun. ;) But no sense arguing with know-it-alls who actually believe that the universe started when they were breech-birthed. Heh. |
