[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] From Mr. Palmland's immediate, it would appear that he would prefer to have 330XX Sightseer Lounges regularly assigned to the Auto Train rather than the 3310X "diner acting as a lounge". The six Lounges that were converted from 380XX Diners are configured Tables, Snack Bar, Lounge Banquettes and Settees on the Upper Level. On the Lower, there is Smoking Lounge (for which I give an A-/B+ for keeping me and the foul fog separated), a deactivated phone booth, and additional Lounge Settees. There are two cars assigned to each set with one in the Coach and the other in the Sleeper sections of the consist. The car in the Sleeper section is placed Tables forward and hence adjacent to the Diner. On peak journeys, those tables are used for Diner seating. Although I normally do not use the Lounge car on any train (hey I'm paying heap big wampum for my privacy; use it), I guess an exception is the "comp' wine tasting offered on AT. Any reader here knows my thoughts (...if you've seen one Pine Tree...) regarding the route's scenery, and I think Amtrak was wise to reassign Sightseers away from the AT and rebuild surplus Diners (lest we forget, just as the S-II's were being delivered, the Mercer Cuts whacked the Pioneer and Desert Wind) to Lounges.
