I Really Missed The Heritage Coach & Dining Cars That Amtrak Used In The 1980's When The Seats Reclined "All The Way Back". You've Actually Slept On Them and They Were Whisper Quiet. Those Were The Glorious Days Of Train Travel. Great Video
Thanks for watching!
Man now I want to take a ride on Amtrak

Thanks for watching, Alan!
Wow I didn’t know that much on the train cars thanks for making this video keep up the good work
You're very welcome! Will do!
CoasterFan2105 :D
Its Been a Long Time Ever Since You Did a Train Talk! Fun Fact: I Went Railfanning in Santa Fe Springs, CA, And I Just Saw Pure Passenger Car Trains of All Kind Just Like In Your Train Talk
I love these videos and I get so happy when a new one comes out!
Hopefully, there will be another new one next month too!
Great video, I am excited for part 2
Thanks for watching!
I think you should do an episode about CalTrain. The roots of SP, the early days of private operation, ext. Or SP 4449.
That would be neat
Yeah
As a San Francisco Bay Area resident, I would like that.
Just love this video thank you for uploading!
Santa Fe Productions hey what up
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Very informative! Fun Fact: the Southern Pacific invented the full length dome car.
Cool fact!
Thanks! :)
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
There is a southern pacific train song. It's Southern Pacific Roll on.
Very epic
Thank you so much for bringing train talk back.
Living in Australia , it's very interesting seeing railways from other countries. Well done Mike.
Great video, Mike! Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you! Hopefully it will be out soon!
SCL used to operate what they called club cars with physical characteristics of what you described as observation cars. The SCL cars had a section of swiveling and reclining chairs and a larger open space with fixed chairs and sofas with copious numbers of ash trays to accommodate smoking. The cars were generally equipped with a partial or full service bar.
Great stuff !
Thanks, Jeff!
That's so awesome, Mike. It's a good thing to see what you actually look like. The Amtrak Auto Train episode was the one where I got to see your actual appearance.
Learning about trains is a great way to learn about.
Surpurb video quality! Loved the variety of passenger cars! Some trains are so colorful. Looking forward to part 2.
yo omg I thought the daylight passenger cars were scrapped but thank God they are still here
Tank you...beautifull...
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Fun fact: Amtrak used to transport mail with their long distance trains from 1986 to 2003-04. The boxcars that Amtrak used for this service were unique because they rode on high speed passenger car trucks and had HEP cabling, which kept the flow of Head End Power going from the locomotive to the passenger cars. They were 60 feet long, and were even short enough to squeeze through low-clearance NEC Tunnels. They were numbered 1400-1473, 1500-1569, and were called MHC’s (Material Handling Cars).
Great video. Always wanted to know more about the different types of rail cars. You filled the bill on this one. Educational and informative. Thanks!
Another amazing episode of Train Talk!!!! I always love the many different types of passenger cars you can find on a train and all the different amenities each one can offer like the cafe cars, dining cars, baggage and sleepers too!!! So when you meant by part 2 of this episode, does that you'll be doing that next month? Let me know if you can....but I really do enjoy your train talk series, it is always very interesting!!! Once again, great job Mike!!! :) +CoasterFan2105
Amazing to see the Train talk episodes again!
Nice job. Very interesting and very informative. Thanks Mike!
Will Part 2 be released today or next week?
Next month at the soonest, Mike released his monthly upload schedule for this month on Wednesday. Unless he changes it, we won't see part 2 for a bit.
Been looking for a video like this for a long time, will watch part 2 now.
Someone in Denver or Seattle should give the parlor car a modern green rebirth 😎
That would be neat!
Awesome talking about the passenger train Mike Awesome video
Yay! A new video! 👏👍
Why do Passenger cars from the RPO to the observation have to be retired?
Newer car designs and the Post doesn't ship mail by rail anymore.
Five second explanation by dancing demo
There are three types of passenger cars
1. Normal boi (has chairs in it)
2. Tall boi (has twice as many chairs in it)
3. Empty boi (has boxes of clothes in it)
All can be found on Amtrak trains, but only some are found on commuter rail services, usually the tall boi
All boy,train talk is so good.👍👍👍👍
I have a good idea for Train Talk is an episode about Steam locomotive whistles especially the whistles used on modern excursions steam locomotives
I'm hoping to get to that one in the not too distant future!
I Love this CZcams Video, Thank You, Mike Armstrong aka CoasterFan2105, You Rock! :-D
Thanks for watching, Kev!
The Canadian Pacific built a passenger car with two coupolas based on the caboose for use on it's trains in the Rockies in 1902 for better viewing of the scenery. There were a total of 4 cars but they didn't last long as the windows were not Polarized and the heat build-up more than compensated for better viewing the scenery.
Besides Amtrak you forgot to mention America's most famous luxurious train the American Orient Express operated by Amtrak between Denver via Salt Lake City to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks the highlight of the journey is following the Rio Grande portion of the California Zephyr
The AOE folded in the mid 2000's
Nice to hear your voice again. Your 4014 Big Boy video was a marvel -- absolutely outstanding. Please keep up your great work.
Wow coasterfan awesome trains and that is a really cool car 👍👍👍
Nice Video.
Thank you!
Amazing video!
Amazing Video!
I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks for the informative vid Mike! #trains #caltrainfan
From what I know back in the old days certain trains didn’t carry their own AC or DC power to the cars, so they had to have a specific rail car with a generator designated for that specific job. If you look at some of these legacy trains there are operated by the rail lines Some of them are passenger trains they are pulled by freight locomotives. While freight locomotives “like the GE Evolution series” well freight locomotives do produce DC and AC power they don’t distribute it to the actual cars themselves for that it requires that same power car with a generator on board to be required so that way they can operate the electricity on the passenger cars while the freight locomotive is pulling the train.
I was in a rommete
Nice
Awesome video CoasterFan2105 🚄🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
Kev P Loves Your Comment and Your Railway-Emoji Art-Picture on the Computer as a Bonus. :-D

Good job dude
Wow this was really good.
Thank you, Jose!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
The dome car on Via is fantastic! got to ride in one on a rare short trip with them and the views are great and the old style is a nice additiom
Cool Video!!
Can you do a review on articulated passenger and freight cars
Maybe, although that would probably end up being in episodes about specific types of cars or more generally about rail car articulation.
Please do Connecticut shoreline trains! Or maybe New England. We love your videos!
CoasterFan2105 can you make a Coaster wooden train and a Amtrak Surfliner wooden train?
Maybe!
CoasterFan2105 YAY I HOPE IT WILL BE SEEN IN TOY TRAINS GALORE 5
I miss this Show!
Excellent Video 🇮🇳
Thanks!
@ 1:20, I wonder what is in the bottom prt of the car ? On to, full rows of seats (2+2, 2+3 or 1+2), but downstairs, almost no window, and difficulties for elderly people to climb up, although they could find a specifically designed compartment in the bottom part…
It's been 84 bloody years.
Great video! I wanted to inform VIA Rail still uses dome cars on some of their routes and Rocky Mountaineer also has lounge cars on their trains. VIA Rail also has a sleeper train that goes in the other direction of the canadian that uses British coaches, sleeper, and diner cars on the trains. Lastly, VIA rail uses almost a hybrid system where they bring the food to you in your seat when traveling on their trains, just like on a airplane. I hope I taught you something you in this comment and would love to see more of this Series, cheers!
Do more train talks plz. I really enjoyed this video.
im subbing for this.
very informative
Thanks!
YESSS TRAIN TALK IS BACK!!!
Great Job Mike! Perhaps one of the later train talks can be about the MPI MPXpress series of engines?
Amtrak still has at least 1 dome car. During the fall, the Adirondack has on its its consist between Albany and Montréal. (it is a full length dome car).
They sold that car off about a year ago.
The surfliner also has a lounge car!😁
You should make a train talk video on Multiple Unit, self propelled, cars
When you talk about the different styles of passenger cars in part 2, will that also include old styles of passenger cars that railroads don't use nowadays, such as the old wooden open platform passenger cars we mainly associate with old trains back during the 1800's?
Happy Friday
I think you should do a Train Talk Episode of the MTA of New York
SUBSCRIBED
Do an episode about Metra.
Is the SP GS-4 4449 running still or is Southern Pacific storing it?
Southern Pacific 4449 is currently owned by Portland, Oregon, and is sometimes used for excursion service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_4449
4449 is currently on display at the Oregon Rail Heritage center and will be there until late November when it will pull the holiday express.
Please do a version of this on Canadian cars
nice
My favorite type of passenger cars are streamliners
Dude your microphone is so good, more than decent
You forget to mention the baggage cars that used to load passenger belongings and doesn't carry passenger
My favorite is a Talgo
Awesome video Mike also thank you for Subscribing to my channel
Thanks for watching!
@@CoasterFan2105 your welcome
4:26 Toasters, meh. WAIT?! TOASTERS?!!
Can you make a Train Talk on Business Trains? (I sound like an idiot but I don't know what that is)
They are Caltrain's Toasters now
Via rail still uses dome cars on their long distance trains
What do you prefer for train bells: graham white E bells like the ones on mp36 locos or Canadian E bells like on FrontRunner cab cars?
I like the Canadian "Transtronic" ebells.
I like both types of E bells.
I wish more can take the train i just wish
Via rail still uses dome cars on the Canadian
The sleeper car, dinner car & Amtrak long distance trains may end soon
if you look at VIA rail there still using mid train dome cars and observation cars AKA Park cars on there trains in Canada namely the Canadian the ocean and the train to Churchill manitoba
Domes still in regular service with Via rail in Canada
I have a suggestion, a Train Talk episode about EMUs.
Topic idea: cabooses
You came to South San Francisco? I live there and is you want to see the freight it leaves around 7:30 7:45 PM
Yeah, I was there very briefly in mid June.
Dear Team, Can you make videos on Different types of Locomotive use in US?? Expecting particular video on only Locomotives. ...
I did a general video about types of locomotives last year. Did you mean specifically modern engines?
Yes .... Modern Electric/Diesel Locomotives which are currently using in US. ..
do an episode for eastern long distance trains for amtrak please i really wanted to see this
I think is steam locomotive passger all
What is the difference between coach cars and sleeping cars on Amtrak
