Atlas posted 11/17/14 container report 2 Master line freight cars and 2 Trainman freight cars, looks like no chance for Cal Zephyr car deliveries or engines this year as this container shipment will probably start delivering late next month.

Probably true... 
But I got a sense this was gonna happen after hearing Atlas-O reps at York choose their words very carefully when discussing the CZ. Plan on 1Q2015 for the CZ observation, and a 2016 delivery for the baggage car (which although previewed in a brochure at York this past October still hasn't been "officially announced" on the company's website).

hmmm....will there be another car released with the baggage car? Dome lounge? And, are they still doing the dome w conductors office?

Yes... I believe they also previewed the dome dorm/buffet/lounge car as well. But I was most interested in the baggage car, given the number of cars I already have.
As for the car with the conductor's office/window, it's anyone's guess right now. But Atlas-O did say from the get-go they planned to do all cars. That was a long time ago though.

Thanks for the info! I will be getting a buffet/lounge, so it's nice to know. In this interview they say the last 3 cars will be baggage, dome lounge and the dome w conductors window. And that was earlier this year, so I'm guessing yes. Check it out at 9:55..... http://youtu.be/1Rdb0OA4_rQ
As soon as I decide to not check it, they update the container report.

The Atlas O Shipping Schedule still has numerous items listed for the 4th Quarter of 2014. They must have another container coming in December or they will miss the prediction.

Anyone notice that Atlas has not updated their Container Shipping Report [www.atlasrr.com/containershipping.htm] since 7/11/14, updates are only made on the A-Z shipping schedule.

Not sure I follow your comment. The latest update on the link you posted is for a container due on 12/15/2014. Why would you say it hasn't been updated since July 11, 2014?
Given that the CZ observation car isn't listed on a container due in mid-December, it's unlikely we'll see those cars this year.

In the past I have always been able to click on the above posted link and get the most current report, when I click on that link today it still shows 7/11/14 report, unless I am missing something?
