Start with Streamliner (a.k.a. Heritage) equipment, pulled by Phase IV Genesis locomotives. Front to rear, a matching set of cars starting with baggage, dorm, three coaches, counter service diner, three more coaches, dome lounge, diner, two or three sleepers, and on the rear a sleeper/lounge observation car, maybe with a dome. Maybe some of the coaches could be dome coaches, too.
Except for the observation car on the rear, and the Genesis locomotives, this was the configuration of the Coast Starlight in the mid 1970s.
