Can't vouch for the "typical consist" of each train, but the Viewliners currently operate on the Lake Shore, Silver Star/Palm/Meteor, Twilight Shoreliner, and Crescent. They will soon be operating on the Twilight Ltd. and Skyline Connection too.

If you get a National Time Table, it lists services and types of equipment. At least the last one I go did.

A side note: Ever notice how many ATSF, BN and BNSF railfans also support Passenger Trains? I guess it's part of our Heritage.

Wait a minute Maxwell. I'm a NYC/PRR railfan & I support passenger trains too. I'm sure there's a lot of other supporters from the other home roads too. Reggie

Hey man, I didn't say we were the ONLY passenger fans. http://www.trainboard.com/wink.gif But we do seem to be prolific.
