Overview
Upon its creation in 1971, Amtrak inherited a motley collection of beat-up cars from the nation's former passenger carriers. With a mission to attract passengers back to train travel, one of Amtrak's first orders of business was to create a modern passenger fleet.
With a sleek, rounded body that looks more like an aircraft fuselage than a traditional passenger car, the first of nearly 650 new Amfleet cars was delivered in 1975, enabling Amtrak to begin retiring the so-called "heritage fleet." Our Amfleet set replicates the diesel-powered Amfleet consists than can be seen almost anywhere that Amtrak goes, except the electrified portions of the Northeast Corridor. The Horn & Bell sounds found in this set replicates the dramatic warning sounds of a modern diesel.
