I was taking the 125 today, and lo ad behold, a full business class car with 2-2 leather seating, similar to Acela BC seating. Is this something new Amtrak is doing?

If it is still just the test car, it is 81544. Coincidentally, 81544 was one of the two amfleet sleepers! (81536 was the other one.)
 
I cannot speak for 81543. I can say 81544 has leather.
 
According to Former AU leader Anthony, that car is/was a test bed for the rest of the Amcan BC cars. Not sure if all cars will get them but would be nice.
Well, people have been complaining for a few years about the wild inconsistencies in what "business class" means across Amtrak. Maybe someone listened and this is an attempt to make all the business class feel similar to Acela business class!
