Two Venture coaches and an Amfleet cafe/business class car. As far as I know, that means last night’s 370 was the first appearance of the Venture cars in revenue service on the Pere Marquette.

My memory is a little fuzzy. Did they run a test train with them a couple years ago when they were first delivered? There were test trains with the Chargers, but I can’t remember if there were for the Venture cars.
