Hello from California Zephyr Eastbound Train No. 6!

I am writing this from Sacramento where we have a special train today.It's been a LONG time since I've posted here. There are four Amtrak LL cars on the back of this train for President Joe Boardman. I'm in Car 32 and these are the four cars on the back. Boardman was in SAC yesterday for this:
http://www.kcra.com/news/sacramento-company-delivers-last-of-70-electric-locomotives-to-amtrak/39875442

It's unclear why they needed 4 LL cars if it's only him or if there are several members in his party.

(Transition Sleeper...sleeper #32...then...)
Amtrak Heritage Sleeping Car #10021
Amtrak Viewliner Sleeping Car #62033
Amtrak Dome Car Car #10031
Amtrak President's Car #10001

The cars are supposedly being detached in DEN.

See photos here that I could only post on TrainOrders:

Well Anton, welcome back. I guess Boardman has started his "victory laps". Anyone think he'd travel in line space the way Reistrup, Claytor, and Gunn did?

I would love to ask him if the West Coast will ever get any new cars! The Superliner II Sleeper I am in has had VERY LITTLE work done on it and I don't think will be usable in 5 years without a full refurb as the 31 Car has.

It's such a shame that so many people's first impression of Amtrak can be such old equipment like this.
