I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but check out the consists of our two Capitol Limited trips:
Train #29(July13) WAS-CHI: 146 P-42 locomotive 99 P-42 locomotive 42 P-42 locomotive 1260 Baggage 39015 Superliner II Transition Dorm/Sleeper 32055 Superliner I Sleeper 32044 Superliner I Sleeper 38007 Superliner I Diner 33027 Superliner II Sightseer Lounge 34103 Superliner II Coach 34134 Superliner II Coach 31045 Superliner I Coach/Baggage Train #30(July23) CHI-WAS: 25 P-42 locomotive 56 P-42 locomotive 1733 Baggage 39015 Superliner II Transition Dorm/Sleeper 32055 Superliner I Sleeper 32044 Superliner I Sleeper 38032 Superliner I Diner 33027 Superliner II Sightseer Lounge 34103 Superliner II Coach 34134 Superliner II Coach 34037 Superliner I Coach What you see highlighted in red is that the transition dorm, both passenger sleepers, the Sightseer Lounge, and 2 of the 3 coaches were the same on both trips. At some point the diner was swapped out and the last coach changed. Although nobody rode the same exact roomette on both trips, we can deduce the following:

Speaking of Capitol consists, the Capitol Ltd left WAS yesterday behind 4 (count them - four) P42s - numbers (front to back) 18, 71, 14 and 16. 14 was facing back. The rest were facing forward. It was standing ready to receive passengers while we on the Silver Star moseyed in and out almost three hours late.
Then we got delayed another 45 minutes between CP Baldwin and CP Phil due to an earlier fatality at Folcroft, but that is another story. At least we had company from 168 and 2220 on that piece of minor mishap. |
