I spent about 30 minutes catching up on this Forum just before going to sleep last night and sure enough dreamed Amtrak. It seems Amtrak got a massive budget increase and part of that money went to build a fleet of Viewliner Section Sleepers (Upper/Lower Berth or Touralux as Milwaukee called it) as well as Slumbercoach Viewliner Sleepers. The Section cars maintained the lower tier windows but the upper tier windows were replaced with smaller "slit" type windows and the Slumbercoach units picked up the staggered window configuration.
Then the cat woke me up! But I realized if Amtrak had the money, such cars may well be feasible and profitable as they would fill in that wide gap that currently exists between Coach and Sleeper. And they looked pretty neat too, especially the Slumbercoach units
Maybe tonight I'll envision the new Superliners :lol:
