Does anyone have a better photo that can be uploaded and used for this article? The present one (of the end of a car) doesn't really give a sense of what they look like. LrdChaos 17:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Are there really coach cafe Superliners? The only café I've seen on a Superliner train was below the lounge. Chazzoz 21:56, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)
When I see the use of numbers in the section headings, it appears that the number is part of the designation or identification of the car. However, I believe it refers to the number of cars of that type built or in use. Is there a way to remove the number from the heading and incorporate it into the text? 71.131.186.112 17:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Why do coach cars have a dedicate women's restroom in addition to the unisex toilets, but no dedicated men's room? ( Alphaboi867 00:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC))
Hello. I'm translating this page:Superliner for Japanese Wikipedia. I want numerical value of Superliner to know which are big rolling stocks, but I couldn't find it in any websites. So I'll ask you size (or specifications) of Superliner: about Length, Width and Heights.
For reference, dimensions of Japanese Shinkansen cars are 25,000mm in length, 3,380mm in width, and 4,485mm high (for Double Decker).-- Comyu 18:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
I've just been through and added a Train Rollingstock template, which I've now started to populate. There's a bit of stuff I don't know about though, so if there's anybody here who doesn't mind filling in the blanks?

Hope someone will volunteer to help out. This article needs to be cleaned up and have cites added. First thing I plan to do is put the Hi-Level stuff in it's own section. Since there is no page for those cars, I may spin it into a new stub just for them. -- plaws ( talk) 20:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
The first photo in the article, as presently written, is incorrectly marked as a dining car. The car is actually one of the converted Auto Train lounge cars mentioned later in the article. While it used to be a diner, the windows on the lower level are not present on an unmodified Superliner dining car.

I'm guessing this is some bizarre euphemism for a bar that serves alcohol dreamt up by people who think that alcohol is (or should be) illegal, but please could you explain what you're talking about a little more clearly?
Only half ;-)

– This article is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Superliner". Over the past year it's received more traffic than the other two articles, Mack Super-Liner and Superliner (passenger ship), put together. It's also the only standalone article with the exact name Superliner, as Superliner (passenger ship) has redirected to Ocean liner since May 2013 and Mack Super-Liner is hyphenated. Discounting redirects and disambiguation pages 22 articles link to Mack Super-Liner, 22 to Superliner (passenger ship), and 122 to Superliner (railcar). Looking beyond the numbers, as a railcar first proposed in 1975 and in operation since 1979 the Superliner has generated considerable coverage in reliable sources. The term for larger ocean liners has fallen into disuse with the collapse of the passenger trade and in any event it's a redirect and will likely remain so. Production of the Mack truck ended in 1988. Of the the first twenty hits for "Superliner" on Google all but four are for the railcar. Of the remaining four, one is a dictionary definition for a large ocean liner, one a hair-cutting product, and two for a truck bedliner (unrelated to the Mack truck). When our readers and editors write Superliner, this is the article they're looking for. Mackensen (talk) 21:11, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
Mackensen makes the exact same point I was going to make. As of this morning the term "superliner" is used exactly twice on the Ocean liner page and is only used in passing and without definition. If I may suggest a compromise, we could put an about-distinguish hat note that says something to the effect of "This article is about the Amtrak railcar. It is not to be confused with the type of ocean liner." RickyCourtney ( talk) 17:05, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
