Talk:Superliner (railcar)

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)

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)

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)

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)

One might speculate that you have a vagina.

Perhaps many women want their own reserved facility, while many men don't really care. -Alika 16:34, 28 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alikaalex (talk • contribs)

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)

From the article:

Car length 85 feet 0 inches (25.9 m) (25,900mm)

Width 10 feet 2 inches (3.1 m) (3,100mm)

Height 16 feet 2 inches (4.9 m) (4,900mm)

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?

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)

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.

Wet Bar (?) - please translate for non-Americans

I'm guessing this is some bizarre euphemism for a bar that serves alcohol dreamt up by people who think that alcohol is (or should be) illegal, but please could you explain what you're talking about a little more clearly?

Only half ;-)

Roy Badami (talk) 21:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

In American English, wet bar simply indicates it has a sink with running water. Bars are normally assumed to serve alcohol unless they're a juice bar or the like. Mahousu (talk) 18:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
