About the Amtrak Superliner Sleeper

Delivery of the original Superliner 1 cars began in 1979 with the first cars operating on short runs originating in Seattle and Chicago. As more cars arrived, entire Superliner trainsets replaced trains on existing Western routes. The height of a Superliner generally precludes its operating in the Northeast because of tunnel clearance concerns. Sleeper cars, as the name implies, consist of a combination of bedrooms and roomettes to allow passengers (for a fee) to book their own rooms for longer trips.
