Amtrak Superliner cars entered service in 1979 and were a major step forward. The Pullman-Standard design was inspired by the earlier Santa Fe El Capitan Hi-Level cars. It used a common car body which could be built out as a coach-baggage car, coach with larger seats, sleeper and a diner. 284 Superliner I cars were produced. In the following years, Amtrak added the Superliner II version of the cars whick included a lounge variant. Today, both versions of the Superliner remain in service and are seen together in most long distance Amtrak trains. The only region they do not operate in is the Northeast, where Viewliner cars are used for their lower height. Over the years, these cars have been painted in all of the Amtrak paint schemes up to and including Phase IVb.
