"Under catenary" comment

Even 16-foot tall Superliners fit "under catenary" (overhead electrification) at Washington Union Station and possibly other locations. This comment in the Usage section needs to be clarified.

I'm not entirely sure what needs to be clarified beyond the fact that it's the Baltimore and New York City tunnels that restrict the use of tall cars. Superliners do indeed serve Washington Union Station. --KJRehberg (talk) 05:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance of "Amcan" nickname reference??

I do not see how this fits into encyclopedic content, especially at the opening of the article. Perhaps it needs to be purged?

'Canned' AmcanLorenzoB (talk) 07:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone sneaked references to "Amcans" and "Amtubes" into the end of the introductory paragraph, with an offhand comparison to the Horizon cars, which came years after the Amfleet's introduction and are not understood to be a comparative reference for the purpose of generating "in-joke" nicknames. This isn't a railfan's reference; it's general.

Sleepers

How come Amtrak never made Amfleet sleeping cars? (The closest that I can think of is that Amfleet business car with that silly porch, and that doesn't really count.) — Rickyrab | Talk 18:29, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Train equipment lasts a long time if maintained and Amtrak has limited funds so it has not been able to update equipment as often as it would like to. This meant that the Heritage fleet of sleepers were used until the Viewliner sleepers were built.[reply]
