Does anyone know what happened to Viewliner 62090? Last I heard it was at Location "DPF" and Pending investigation. Does anyone know what DPF Stands for, or if 62090 has been wrecked or scrapped. It stopped running as a crew dorm 3/96.

Any help is appreciated

I have wondered the same thing. Did it ever run as 62090 and was it named? I still have not seen 62091 but have read that it is operating.

62091 "Eastern View" is getting ready to leave Hialeah after getting its A/C repaired.

I even have pictures of it. As for 62090 I'm not aware of it being named, however; when an employee in Hialeah checked maintenece history for 2300 and then 62090, which showed the information at a location "DPF" and "Pending Investigation" as I said above.

To date I have know clue where or what DPF is.

62090 has been located! It was stored in 1998 in Bear, Delaware. It seems to still be known as 2300.

8400 is in dead storage in Beech Grove.
