For the first time in 40 years, #Amtrak has started to replace its #overnight #trains.

Ten manufacturers have submitted their ideas on replacement #railcars for world-famous routes such as the #AutoTrain, #CaliforniaZephyr, #CoastStarlight, #Crescent, #EmpireBuilder and #SouthwestChief.

#Amtrak locomotive 311 pulling train 28 toward Spokane and Chicago stops at Pasco, Washington last month. It’s in the new Phase VII livery. #EmpireBuilder

amtk 815 left seattle for chicago about 20 mins ago #amtrak #trains #EmpireBuilder

AHA!! I caught it again returning to Chicago. AMTK 300 leading Empire Builder #8. First Siemens ALC-42 Charger I caught with my real camera and lens. It's a beautiful engine!! #Amtrak #trains #EmpireBuilder

The Coast Starlight is, to my reckoning at least, one of the Big Five Amtrak routes for long distance travel, along with the #SouthwestChief (Chicago -- Albuquerque -- LA), #CaliforniaZephyr (Chicago -- Denver -- Oakland), #EmpireBuilder (Chicago -- Spokane -- Portland | Seattle), and #SunsetLimited (New Orleans -- Houston -- Los Angeles). The Starlight also covers some of the same ground as the #PacificSurfliner (San Diego -- LA -- San Luis Obispo), the #CapitolCorridor (Auburn -- Sacramento -- Oakland -- San Jose) and the Amtrak Cascades (Vancouver Canada -- Seattle -- Portland -- Eugene).
