AlanB,
Thanks for the information. I was traveling on the Westbound Boston train. It had the baggage car, sleeper, 3 coaches, followed by the club car. The NY train had 4 coaches, dining car, followed by the sleeper (s).

Why couldn't the Boston train be configured with the 3 coaches, followed by club and sleeper; and the NY train: diner, sleepers, followed by coach. When the NY train is coupled, the train would be 3 coach, club, BOS sleeper, diner, NY sleepers, 4 coach. This would require only the baggage car to be moved and would place the sleepers close to the diners, similar to all of the trains I have taken out west. This would be a lot better for the higher paying sleeper passengers and would eliminate the 8 car walk to the diner.
