Operational UpdateSunset Limited(New Schedule & Consist)

Here is an update on the new schedule and consist for the Sunset effective 3/7/05.
Trains 1/2, The Sunset Limited
On March 7, a new schedule for Trains 1/2, The Sunset Limited, will be placed into effect in an effort to more accurately align the schedule of the train with actual operating conditions. The schedule changes will decrease the amount of time allotted to turn the equipment at LAX which will introduce a fourth set of equipment in the rotation. Because this fourth set of equipment increases the equipment requirement for service, the consist of the train will be adjusted to spread the same amount of revenue cars among the four sets of equipment. The new consist will be as follows:
1 P42 Locomotive ORL-NOL
2 P42 Locomotives NOL-LAX
Baggage Car - Will not operate during the off-peak season
Transition Sleeper - Lines 0120/0220 - Rooms 17-24 offered for revenue sale
Sleeper - Lines 0130/0230
Diner
Lounge
Coach - Lines 0112/0212
Baggage Coach - Lines 0111/0211- Used for checked baggage when baggage car does not operate
Coach - Lines 2115/2215 to/from 21/22 at SAS
Sleeper - Lines 2130/2230 to/from 21/22 at SAS
The new schedule (see page 2) will begin with the departures of Train 1(3/13) and 2(3/9). Due to several days where we have already booked the current 0131/0231 sleeper with large tour groups, there will be a number of departures where this second sleeper will operate. Those departures are:
Train 1 - 3/13, 3/15, 3/22, 4/3, 4/12, 4/17
Train 2 - 3/9, 3/11, 3/18, 4/6, 4/8, 4/13, 4/17, 4/22, 4/24
