In doing some research for a response for a post by Stuttgartwerks, I derived a typical consist for Amtrak's Texas Eagle passenger train. Since the topic could be an interesting post in its own right, I have reposted it here. This also has the advantage that some one coming through can more easily find it.

Here is the list of Locomotives and passenger cars you are going to need. You are going to need two Athearn AMD-103s, one Walthers Baggage, one Walthers Transistion Crew Sleeper, two Walthers sleepers, two Walthers coaches, One Walthers coach/baggage, one Walthers Diner, and one Walthers Sightseer Lounge. All cars except the baggage are Superliner style cars. I reccomend that you mix it up between SuperlinerI and Superliner II cars as this depicts common practice. (The crew Trainsistion sleepers were only made in the Superliner IIs) When you get everything. The following consist below is the common arrangment for a typical "Texas Eagle" train.
