Heritage Car Names

During the past few months, my research of Amtrak's Heritage Fleet has generated a list of the various car series that had names assigned to them. Most of these were sleeping cars, but a number of diners and lounges also retained the names given to them by their original railroads. The following is by no means a complete list, and if you can help fill in any of the gaps, by all means let me know!

This list has been compiled using many sources, including (but not limited to):

Note: names enclosed in parentheses may have been removed during Amtrak service. This list is primarily accurate for cars that were painted in Phase III livery between 1980-1996. Check photographs to determine whether the names were still present during the period you are modeling.
