Kato HO 356211 Viewliner II Baggage Car, Amtrak #61006

Phase III Heritage

The Viewliner II is one of Amtrak’s newest additions to its fleet of single-level rolling stock, with additional rollouts of Baggage cars, diners, and Sleeping cars all entering standard service starting in 2019. as of 2019, 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 Amtrak’s 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 railroader’s Amtrak fleet!
