Superliner (railcar)

The Superliner is a double-decker passenger car used by Amtrak on long-haul trains that do not use the Northeast Corridor. The initial cars were built by Pullman-Standard in the late 1970s and a second order was built in the mid 1990s by Pullman's successor, Bombardier Transportation. As delivered, the cars came in various configurations, including coach, diner, and sleeper. State-funded routes in California use another variant of the Superliner passenger car dubbed "California Cars" or "Surfliners".
