"Amfleet: The new spirit of Amtrak" brochure, 1970s.

Printed paper brochure describing amenities on the new single-level Amfleet equipment; likely dates to 1975-1976. Amtrak ordered 492 single-level cars, known as Amfleet I, that were based on the design of the popular Metroliner cars. With tubular bodies and ridged stainless steel fluting, they could reach speeds of up to 125 mph. The Amfleet cars came in five configurations. Courtesy of Brian Roman.
