Amfleet

Amfleet is a series of intercity railroad passenger cars built for the operator Amtrak by the manufacturer Budd Company in two series during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Today, Amfleet cars are used extensively throughout the Amtrak system outside the western United States. The Amfleet cars have a unique rounded appearance which was done to try to emulate the design of an aircraft to attract would be flyers to ride trains instead. Some railfans refer to these cars as "Amcans" or "Amtubes" due this distinct rounded appearance.
