Amtrak inherited the Hi-Level cars that inspired the Bi-level Superliners, but they're not listed in the article. Can we include the inherited cars? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.109.115.31 ( talk) 02:22, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
I think is getting way too detailed and this function is better performed by the railfanning sites we link to. If a locomotive is actually scrapped or permanently stored then that's probably worth noting, but if it's out for a month or so because of a cab fire and there's every expectation that it's coming back then I don't think we need mention it. Mackensen (talk) 15:08, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
I started drafting a replacement article based on Amtrak's most recent Fleet Strategy article; see User:Mackensen/Amtrak rolling stock. This keeps detail to a reasonable minimum. Mackensen (talk) 14:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Should there be some mention made of which cars can only be used on western routes?-- agr ( talk) 02:10, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I have updated the list. 185 seems to re-enter service in a while, after the wreck in North Carolina on March 11, as it was seen carried to Beech Grove on a CSXT train a few days ago. 154 was in the wreck in Indiana on October 28 last year, so that one is out for a long while already and therefore into the list. 62 is out due to a wreck and resulting fire in Texas in November 2014. 24 caught fire in the mid section a few days ago on a Hiawatha train in Milwaukee, and is likely out for quite a while, too. On the other hand, 90 and 120 are back in active service. 90 is running the CA Zephyr for a few weeks now, after re-entering service in late April; 120 was the lead unit on train 29-04/30-05 this month and seems to serve as back-up unit at Albany-Rensselaer currently. -- Thogo 00:03, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

The table says that two P42s are leased to MARC. Which engines are that? I have revenue Amtrak service assignments for all active Amtrak engines in the last few weeks (the other ones are at Beech Grove, or on the way there in the case of #1 and #130). -- Thogo 17:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Are we sure this car is Amfleet I-based? It looks to me like it has the same trucks as all rebuilt Metroliners, leading me to think it is a former Metroliner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.138.47.66 ( talk) 19:11, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
There is a problem with the column heading on the table of former passenger cars. I think that Years of Service needs to move to the right by one column, but I don't know what the column with 6, 11, 5 is supposed to be. It is definitely not Power Type. Is that the number of railcars in each group? 76.90.104.68 ( talk) 04:25, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
@ RickyCourtney: You say in your recent edit summary that Amtrak has ended private car service, but this link https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/privatecars/Amtrak-Private-Car-Guidelines-062118.pdf has guidelines for such service dated Jan 1, 2019. Am I missing something?-- agr ( talk) 16:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Sea Cow: You have a drone shot of an ALC-42 above Amtrak's Chicago yard, and I was just making sure you had the authorization to fly your drone above the yard to take this shot as is required by law? Piemadd ( talk) 19:04, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
If you mean FAA authorization, if this was a restricted zone, it’s a fair question, but I don’t think it’s valid reason to remove the photo. If you’re asking about capturing an image of private property, Amtrak has no reasonable expectation of privacy for a piece of equipment sitting on an outdoor rail track. RickyCourtney ( talk) 02:13, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
According to the metadata, this image was taken by a DJI brand drone. In my experience, the DJI control systems will not allow its drones to fly in FAA restricted airspace without the operator requesting and receiving authorization from the proper authorities.

With the current order of STADLER FLIRTS, this will be the first multiple unit trains used by Amtrak for quite a few decades. I've noticed that the section titled "trainsets" has been removed and the rolling stock that was in that section was moved to either "Locomotives" or "Passenger cars." I feel this section should return or organize the FLIRTs, Venture sets, Talgo, Acela, and Avelia Liberty trainsets. The FLIRT does not fit into either "passenger cars" or "locomotives' since it's both at the same time, and splitting up the acela and Avelia sets between categories just feels wrong. Any thoughts?

The current Siemens Venture picture doesn't show off a lot of the car (looks more like a picture of the door than the car itself), thoughts on changing it out with something else? cc @ Sea Cow (sorry for the ping) as it is your picture currently and I see you have quite a few in your library. I would add my own pic ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Siemens_Venture.jpg) but its more of a scenic shot that happens to have a venture car in it. Piemadd ( talk) 06:24, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
A Venture set has now been in service on the San Joaquins has been in service for a few days now. This has been evidenced by multiple videos, photos, riders, ect. The article should be updated to reflect this reality, however, there seems to be a bit of back and forth on this whenever someone tries to update it, and the update keeps getting undid (by the same person). So, how should we update this article to reflect the current reality? Rckania ( talk) 19:55, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
