Star, which operate between New York and Florida; the Crescent,
which runs between New Orleans and New York; and the Cardi-
nal, which runs from New York through West Virginia and Ken-
tucky to Chicago. These coaches were designed to accommodate
59 passengers and are more spacious, offering passengers more
legroom and leg rests on each seat.
You'll be able to identify either type right away, because the
exterior shape is more rounded than the classic passenger rail-
car. You may also notice that the windows in Amfleet I cars are
rather small compared to newer equipment. When these cars
were designed and built, air travel had already become the more
popular, more fashionable way to go; apparently the idea was to
create the feeling of being in an airliner.
Amfleet coaches have two comfortable seats on each side
of a center aisle. The seats recline and an airline-type tray folds
down from the back of the seat in front of you. There's an over-
head reading light and a luggage rack above every seat. Each car
has two lavatories, one of which is designed to accommodate a
wheelchair.
Amfleet Lounge Cars
These are the cars that provide food service on Amtrak's all-
coach trains. There are several versions of this car in service in
the Northeast Corridor and on other short-haul routes in the
East, the Midwest, and California. They are also on the over-
night trains in the East, which also carry a full-service dining
car. But they all offer some kind of seating arrangement at either
end, with a snack bar in the center of the car staffed by an atten-
dant. The usual fare includes a variety of salads and sandwiches,
some served cold and some that are heated in a microwave, plus
an assortment of other snacks and drinks, including beer and
wine.
