Is there anything in particular that you would like to know? Just took it last week from Los Angeles to Portland, arriving in Portland about 45 minutes late due to freight traffic. Our train did not have the Pacific Parlor car which we knew in advance, but the dining car staff commented that the parlor cars were returning to service within the next several days, as some of the staff were being transferred from the diner to the PPC. It was a very enjoyable trip even without the PPC and the regular observation car was never super crowded.
