I do think it’s gonna be interesting to see these cars 2 elevators I am disappointed about no first class on some trains . I do also like full dome idea seems cool

I would like to buy an Amtrak T shirt on the train .

Tbh I would love to see all of this stuff for sale on trains or maybe some larger stations

I don’t know if this has been said before . But I think by the time the P42s are out the HUs are gonna be gone expect the day 1 serving as the sole heritage unit for Amtrak I don’t think they’re gonna do more charger heritage units for a while

I wonder if there gonna be a brand like ario was . Amtrak streamliner or Amtrak journey could be possible names .

Oh my goodness they are I had to check and sure enough they are

Back to the topic on replacements I feel like stainless steel single levels won’t happen as they would just use venture again I think they need to go for bi levels and prob stainless steel but that’s just me . Stainless steel is prob unlikely at this point in time we have moved passed i

Not talgo they have a little to no experience building coaches suited for long travel and no carriages that would be used with chargers currently in service.

Tbh what about the kiss carriage for the 9 car bi level sets of course with many changes to the design but if you remove the pantographs and fill in that area add gang ways and knuckle couplers to start . But I think they could be a good design

To be honest they need work the height of this equipment out . Then we can have BI level trains as long as ADA can work with it

The size of the NJT multi level stuff is prefect for Amtrak ideally they could work in 9 car sets if Alstom does not win the bid these sizes still are prefect for LD trains

what I would like to see in this LD order is a GOLD LEAF design but with parts and components of the kiss sets carriages top and and tailing with a charger at each end

As for this trains actual future I can see a return to Phoenix happening in like 2026 or later by that point chargers will pull the train . In 2032 or sooner the train will receive new equipment 9 or 10 car sets this will also be the time that the train may become Dailey with the equipment to...

Now the rocky mountaineer bi levels won’t fit in Chicago so maybe a gold leaf and kiss hybrid could be a design . Especially how they did the kiss set to work on cal train in anyone wants me to go in detail I will make a edit of what Imaigne for Amtrak but if they do it we’ll kiss carragies and...

Tbh I am pretty sure it’s gonna be a BI level order now that I see more people saying 9 car sets . I feel like these 9 car bi level sets will have a brand like ario will . They def will be longer for certain trains with extra cars to be added as for baggage I think the crew and baggage mix is...

In an ideal world this will take a long time but the sunset limited will be 125mph Dailey and return to Florida and Phoenix . 125 prob will never happen but we can dream

Phoenix needs to happen soon ideally the sunset limited becomes Daily returns to Florida and retunes to phoenix .

I am pretty sure it’s going to be 9 car bi level sets from what I have seen . As for who will win the bid as people are discussing they have to have prior work on rolling stock for Amtrak that leaves the options as . Siemens CAF Standler Alstom has experience but there recent quality is...

I 100% think a BI level order is needed . I hope they go with these 9 car sets which will allow for fixed set and less equipment shortages . I think having one car for both baggage and staff is great idea . I do think that for NYC LD trains the other option should be used but I like both ...
