I believe that consist has changed. Just a few days ago, the CBS Evening News had a report about the closing down of Amtrak. They had some interviews of people who live in the Cutbank, Montana area. They concluded the report with an Amtrak train leaving Cutbank. I remember seeing several baggage and material handling cars and the usual complement of Superliners.
