@pfriedma And the core design is even older with the ATSF Hi-Level cars. Exciting news!

@pfriedma I had a ticket to ride one of the last trips made with pre-Amtrak sleeper cars, but it was for the week after 9/11 and the flight I was going to take to Chicago to catch it was cancelled. I was always disappointed I never got to experience them.
