Amtrak California Comet 1B Train Cars
Since the early 1990’s, Amtrak has operated several different intercity passenger train routes under the “Amtrak California” name. One of these, the San Joaquin, travels through California’s Central Valley in between Bakersfield and Oakland as well as from Bakersfield to Sacramento. When the San Joaquin was officially brought under the Amtrak California name in 1993, train equipment consisted of EMD F59PHI diesel electric locomotives and bilevel “California” style passenger cars, built by MK Rail. Over the years, train frequencies increased, necessitating additional locomotives and cars.
California purchased 14 single level “Comet 1B” type cars from New Jersey Transit and then paid Amtrak to completely overhaul them in 2008. These cars started off life as “Arrow 1” self propelled electrical multiple unit cars in the late 1960s and were later converted by New Jersey Transit to standard passenger cars after a series of reliability issues. This conversion earned the cars the nickname “Commarros”. Amtrak completed the initial car overhauls in the spring of 2013 and the first of two full train sets of equipment entered service in October of that year. California also leased three former F40PH cab control cars and three horizon fleet cafes from Amtrak to be used with the comet 1B sets. They were used for a decade in regular service until they were replaced with new Siemens-Mobility Venture passenger cars in December of 2023.
In this video, we will take a look at several of the Comet 1B passenger cars in service on the San Joaquin trains. Locations include several spots in the east San Francisco Bay Area as well as in the San Joaquin Valley.

Man I want to film that train! I was going to in Illinois and Davenport but I am still in so much pain that I can't go very far yet. That will be the train of the year.

Love the footage. With the Genesis fleet, I can't get enough of that chugging type beat from their engines.

I’m a six years old kid I just like steam locomotive tenders that they pull
0:37 That horn in the background is MONSTROUS!!! Do you have a video of the original clip? (Not to be rude, but without the talking?) I wanna use it for one or my games I make on Roblox (and Scratch). Anyways, keep up the good work, Mike! ❤🚂❤
That engine’s whistle is the same as Casey Jr’s did you know.
Cool design in my opinion!
What I don't understand is why there isn't better service from Springfield to Boston or Albany. The once-a-day Lake Shore Limited just doesn't work. Maybe the MBTA can step up to the challenge if Amtrak can't.
Oh my god!
Is where I start watching his videos
12:05
i remember riding sounder in 2017 and got a 2 car train on the south line. 111 was the cab car, and that will always be my favorite cab car
