Where can I find a diagram of the location of cars on Captial Limited and Texas Eagle trains?

Do you mean the internal layout/configuration of the cars, or where each car is in the consist?
For internal layouts, and information about the Texas Eagle, have a look at http://www.texaseagle.com/ . The Capitol Limited uses the same type of equipment.
As for consist, it is usually as follows: Engine(s) - Baggage - Transition sleeper (crew) - sleeper(s) - diner - lounge - coach(es). Sometimes the coaches are behind the baggage car instead. The Texas Eagle has a slightly different configuration on different days.

I did mean the location of the cars. Thanks for the information. I am on the Eagle four or five times a year. I did notice the different car locations once in awhile. Thanks for your help.
