Heritage Fleet
Original rolling stock provided to Amtrak / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Amtrak's passenger car fleet. For other uses, see Heritage fleet (disambiguation).
Amtrak's Heritage Fleet consisted of the rolling stock provided to it when it assumed passenger service on commercial railroads. The name was applied to a 1977–1983 program that converted the older, mainly streamlined, cars from steam heating to head-end power.[1] The final Heritage Fleet car was retired in 2019.
