You can bet people were pretty surprised when the second section of train 7/27 arrived in Whitefish, MT westbound many hours late. It is quite unusual for a set of Surfliners to run over Marias Pass, but this set was being delivered and Amtrak needed extra cars on the Builder. So this is our train departing Whitefish westbound for Sandpoint, Spokane, Pasco, Vancouver, and Portland. The train continued south from Portland as a Cascades train before deadheading to Sacramento where it ran a Capitol service train to San Jose before deadheading to San Luis Obisbo for Surfliner service. It had previously run a section of the Lake Shore Limited from Buffalo after the locomotive met up with the passenger cars in Depew. No one on the train seems to mind the lack of a diner, wraparoud windows, or sleepers.
