Does any1 know where the Superliner Coaches rolled off 2? I was thinkin they were gettin the new IVb paint. Because a few monthes back some crews were using regular sleepers and when the transition dorms returned they were in new paint. Well if any1 knows or has another hypothesis of where they rolled to please post.

I think "any1" is "anyone," "2" is "to," and "IVb" means Phase IV paint. Add a few "g"s and delete a few "e"s (these are obviously just typos). Took me a while to realize that "rolled off 2" meant "moved to" rather than "became decoupled from Train #2."

I cannot wait for telephones to have full keyboards so that people would learn that thumb-saving abbreviations just do not translate to forums.

LOL!

ok ill say again. Does anybody know where the Superliner Coachs have gone, Some trains are putting Horizons in front of the Dorms and i was thinking that the coaches are being repainted to the new Scheme and getting its check up but iam not posotive. So wht iam asking is why are the Superliners coaches not present in some consists?

Now that the question is clarified, the answer is there are a ton of them bad ordered for various maladies and no spares are available. According to one post (knowledgeable) they are 6 super coaches short of having enough cars to keep the regular consists on the road, and I doubt if that includes the 4 missing from 11/14 (normally run with 5 - have only had 4 this summer).
