 | | In fact, the surviving original Superliners are within 15 years or so of the end of their useful lives for daily revenue service, but even now Amtrak has no plans to replace or supplement them. |
 | | Superliner trains used a fleet of 159 coaches of various configurations, just 111 Superliner sleepers (5 of which are unique all-bedroom cars assigned to AutoTrain), 49 Sightseer lounge cars, 57 diners, and 39 dormitory cars. |
 | | Of the 106 Superliner sleepers configured for general use, 73 are required for minimum daily consist needs, with 86 cars available (as of October 1; the "available" number of cars fluctuates day-to-day as cars are taken out of service for maintenance, overhaul, or wreck repair). |
