I am currently putting together some sleeper diagrams similar to what I did for the California trip last year. So far, on the Silver Star trip, we are dispersed among three different Viewliner sleepers, 9110, 9111, and 9112. However I noticed that for the return trip on the Silver Meteor, so far we are all in two sleepers, 9810 and 9811. Does a 9812 exist, or in other words, does the Meteor regularly carry two or three sleepers that time of year?

Normally, if the Star carries three Viewliners down, the Meteor should be carrying three back up, since the Star consist become the Meteor consist going the other way at MIA, unless that has changed recently of course. This is the way it has been on all my previous trips using the Silver Service in the last two years.

We now have somebody supposedly booked in the 9812 car.

Since the Meteor arrives MIA at 6:55pm, just 55 minutes after the Star, I wonder if Amtrak now turns Star to Star and Meteor to Meteor?

It has now been confirmed that Amtrak is now turning Star to Star and Meteor to Meteor.
