How on earth did they choose the profile for those baggage cars? Does it match anything else in the fleet? Looks like it came from Nerdo Crombezia. If you get that reference you really are an old TV watcher.

I suspect it soon will, when the Amfleet replacement cars start arriving.

I believe it was designed to match the viewliner equipment.

Yes, there had to be an "AmName" for them! Though the Viewliners are more for long distance trains to replace "Heritage" equipment still hanging on. Seems like Amtrak may be looking to use "train sets" to replace Amfleet (in "corridors" including NEC and other regional services where Amfleet equipment prevails, presumably). I guess for shorter distance trains like this one that still use a baggage car, there will still be a mix-and-match look to them, since the "Siemens Venture" train sets will have a profile more like, but not matching, the Viewliners.
