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)
[edit] How much are dimensions of Superliner?
Hello. I'm translating this page:Superliner for Japanese Wikipedia. I want numerical value of Superliner to know which are big rolling stocks, but I couldn't find it in any websites. So I'll ask you size (or specifications) of Superliner: about Length, Width and Heights.
For reference, dimensions of Japanese Shinkansen cars are 25,000mm in length, 3,380mm in width, and 4,485mm high (for Double Decker).--Comyu 18:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Information needed
I've just been through and added a Train Rollingstock template, which I've now started to populate. There's a bit of stuff I don't know about though, so if there's anybody here who doesn't mind filling in the blanks?

[edit] cleanup
Hope someone will volunteer to help out. This article needs to be cleaned up and have cites added. First thing I plan to do is put the Hi-Level stuff in it's own section. Since there is no page for those cars, I may spin it into a new stub just for them. --plaws (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] First photo not a diner
The first photo in the article, as presently written, is incorrectly marked as a dining car. The car is actually one of the converted Auto Train lounge cars mentioned later in the article. While it used to be a diner, the windows on the lower level are not present on an unmodified Superliner dining car.
