The refreshed fleet will go on the Corridor immediately, pending these brand-new units arriving; then the refreshed ones will go to non-Corridor routes.

Thanks for clarification.

I'm still a little surprised, I wouldn't think non-corridor routes have need for that type of car?  I thought non-corridor routes were mostly long distance, needing sleeper cars, dining cars, observation cars, etc.?

Maybe I'm missing some services.

I really would love to see new expanded services.

The long-distance lines with sleepers are, I think, the Ocean and the Canadian. There are a surprising number of non-sleeper lines, like the Saguenay line.

I kind of get the impression that the LRC refurbs were just refurbs and not really as major an overhaul as we might think.
