The westbound Captiol Limited, leaving Washington at 4:05 tomorrow afternoon 4/23 is scheduled to have at least 3 private cars on the rear, including...
Boston & Maine "Salsbury Beach"
Union Pacific "Pacific Sands"
Burlington dome car "Silver Splendor"
I saw all 3 up close and personal this morning in the Ivy City yard at the wash track. All beautiful. Just a friendly "heads up" if you are in the area.

Last September, my daughter and I rode Amtrak's California Zephyr from Chicago to Oakland, CA. There were three private cars at the end, and our Superliner compartment was at the very end of the Zephyr, so we had a good view of them. During a fuel stop, we boarded the dome car (an original Cal Zephyr car) to have a look. We talked with the operator of the private excursion cars, which was "Uncommon Journeys".
I can confirm they are on the way... they just passed through Silver Spring, MD.
