Are there really coach cafe Superliners? The only café I've seen on a Superliner train was below the lounge. Chazzoz 21:56, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, have ridden and eaten in them, on the Pacific Surfliner. I think the coach cafe designation refers to the bottom level being where the snack bar is, and the upper level being the standard coach configuration. There may be a full diner on longer distance trains like the Coast Starlight or the Southwest Chief. knoodelhed 09:08, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Does anyone have a better photo that can be uploaded and used for this article? The present one (of the end of a car) doesn't really give a sense of what they look like. LrdChaos 17:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of numbers in headings

When I see the use of numbers in the section headings, it appears that the number is part of the designation or identification of the car. However, I believe it refers to the number of cars of that type built or in use. Is there a way to remove the number from the heading and incorporate it into the text? 71.131.186.112 17:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and moved the # of cars from the headers to inside the text. —LrdChaos 18:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No men's rooms?

Why do coach cars have a dedicate women's restroom in addition to the unisex toilets, but no dedicated men's room? (Alphaboi867 00:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC))

One might speculate that it's because men tend to pee all over the place even when not on a moving train, and rarely tidy up after themselves, making problems for everyone but more for women than men. Alsihler 17:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
