yea, they don't have enough train sets to run every Surflienr so, they use older train set for 799/798.

@chwisch87 yeah, Amtrak and it's great efficiency decides not to have one engine and a cab car or cabbage, but two engines, why, nobody knows.

@krnboy1009 yes the surfliners do add superliners on some of their consists due to a shortage of normal surfliner cars. A few years ago (the surfliner still has them) some blue superliner cars were sent down from up north to match the surfliner car colors. But on the outside, they still look like normal superliner coaches. Back when i was the 3rd grade, the regular superliners were known as "the sliver cars" from me and my friends.

Surfliners use Superliners dont they?

@chwisch87 Yeah, because they are not able to turn the train.

I picked up a fall winter timetable today and sorry to say there's no Coast daylight run anytime soon but there's some new services on Coast Starlight next spring of 2008.
