85' Amfleet I 84-Seat Coach

Amtrak  Phase I (1 Arrow)

Always Work!

To upgrade its elderly fleet of cars, some in service since the late 1940s, Amtrak took delivery of its first all-new Amfleet I cars in 1975 for inter-city service in the close clearances of the eastern US.

Based on the Budd-built Metroliner, nearly 500 coach and food service cars were delivered by 1978.

Starting in 1981, new Amfleet II coaches and lounges were introduced especially for long-distance trains.

Both types are still in service today.
