The Superliner passenger car of Amtrak, the United States Railway Passenger Transport Corporation, is a general term for a two story passenger car that has been manufactured since 1979. It is characterized by its well-balanced composition.
The Superliner passenger car is a bi-level structure with a main passenger compartment and passage on the second floor and an entrance, toilet, bathroom, etc. on the first floor.
With the appearance of the Superliner, most of the Amtrak passenger cars that had been inherited from the old road name were unified at once.
The names of famous trains in the past such as Empire Builder, California Zephyr, Chief, etc. have been inherited, and even now they are active in transcontinental trains.
This time from KATO USA, the Diner (dining car) and Sleeper (sleeping car) are produced with the changed car number.
Sleeper #32009 ` George M Pullman ` has a nickname named after George Mortimer Purman, a businessman who has a name in the American railway history, and it is notable that it is also written on the car body.
Purman is known as the person who developed the luxurious sleeper train "Purman Car" and brought great innovation to rail travel in the latter half of the 19th century.
