Acela consists?

[mustanggt]

Hey everybody…just a quick question…what cars does an Acela trainset consist of? I know that there are 8 cars, but do they have variations in consists? (not counting the HHP8-pulled trains). I searched the forums and didn’t find what I needed, so that’s why I’m asking…

Thanks,

Dave

Wikipedia:

The trainset consists of two power cars, a bistro car, a first class car, and four business class cars, semi-permanently coupled together. The Acela Express has newer, more comfortable seats than regional service counterparts. The first class car has 44 wider, more comfortable seats than the 260 business class seats. Business class cars have 4 seats across (2 seats across on each side). First class has 3 seats across (1 on one side, 2 on the other side).

Basically, they consist of a power unit (locomotive), first class end car, 2 business class cars, the cafe car, another business car, an end business car, and the other power unit.
