Amtrak Superliner

"Sightseer" lounges

Modeled after the ATSF high level lounges, Amtrak runs a lounge on most Superliner equipped trains. The cars have glass windows extending into the ceiling for extended viewing.

Car numbers are: Superliner I - 33000-33024, Superliner II - 33025-33049.


Superliner car rosters


Some cars wrecked have been scrapped, many are at Beech Grove awaiting scrapping (held for insurance or other reasons).

RECAP: 7/29/2002 - 71 cars out of service - 5 scrapped, 66 still around - some in Sanford, balance at Beech Grove.

out of service by type:

22 coach plus 2 scrapped
17 sleeper (2 are deluxe) plus 3 scrapped
11 diners
8 lounges (2 are AT diner rebuilds)
8 trans dorms

On the lists below, cars out of service are followed by a "#". Some of those cars may be repairable and may not necessarily be stricken from the roster.

In mid-May 2002, Amtrak's Stan Bagley reported "42" Superliners awaiting repair, thus the other 16 of the 58 then out of service had either been repaired (unlikely) or were considered beyond recovery.
