What does the train look like from the inside?

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few pics!



A typical dinning car.


Dining in the train

The following pictures are those of a parlor car from the 1950s. It turns out that the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, according to some staff members, is the most lucrative route for Amtrak. As a result, the company has added a parlor car from the 1950s for first class passengers only.



This movie theater (below) is also from the 1950's (it is located beneath the parlor). I heard an announcer say that passengers could go to the theater to watch a movie. It turns out the invitation was only for first class.




The Arcade, another feature that is only found in the Surfliner


Coach (above)


The observatory (above) where people congregate to watch the scenery go by


Another lounge/dinning area



A typical bathroom (looks much cleaner in this picture)
