New Amfleet Interior, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2013

Introduced in 1976, most Amfleet coaches and cafes still in service are from the first series, the Amfleet I series, which had vestibules at both ends. However, most of these have been rebuilt and repainted several times, and have been used in far more roles than they were originally intended. Today, they're used throughout Amtrak's routes in the Northeast and Midwest U.S., and Eastern Canada. They were even the standard on Amtrak's Metroliner services from the early 1980's until the introduction of Acela Express services. When I boarded this one, I noticed that the upholstery had been redone, that the electrical outlets were still there, and that Wi-Fi had been added. These new seats appear to be fatter than the originals, without the uncomfortable center armrest that plagued the original Amfleet I coaches.
