The Viewliner II Baggage Cars are an essential part of the modern Amtrak fleet and can be found combined with Superliner and Amfleet equipped trains all across the US. To keep your Amtrak fleetup to date, Kato is releasing two new road numbers in Kato's HO Viewliner II Baggage Cars. This run will be painted in the special "Phase III Heritage" scheme that features vintage Amtrak colors with the modern Travelmark logo.

Amtrak’s latest single-level equipment

Viewliner II Baggage: The Viewliner II is Amtraks newest addition to its fleet of single-level rolling stock, with planned rollouts of Baggage cars, diners, and Sleeping cars all expected to enter standard service through the next few years. Right now Amtrak is operating 55 Baggage cars in this new style, wearing a special Phase III heritage paint scheme that combines the classic red-white-and-blue stripes with Amtraks new modern logo and the phrase Amtrak America. While the Viewliner and Amfleet single-level cars are typically designed for use throughout the Eastern United States on long distance trains, the new Viewliner II Baggage cars are also used on Superliner trains, making them extremely versatile and a great addition to a model railroaders HO scale Amtrak fleet!
