For transportation of bulk items, trains would run with cars known as “Material Handling Cars” cargo carrying freight cars which would run either on the nose or tail of a consist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Budd-built Hi-Level cars had a great influence on Amtrak’s passenger service, revolutionizing economy coach travel with their double-decker design. Even after the advent of the Superliner car, many of these Budd cars remained in service, in particular the “Step-Down” coach originally used to transition between single level and hi-level cars on the “El Capitan”. These cars, along with de-skirted (for easier maintenance) Santa Fe Baggage cars, were a staple on all Superliner trains up to the introduction of the Superliner II car in 1990.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eFully detailed interiors can be lit with optional Interior lighting kit with LED #11-211\/11-212. \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo not use older 11-206 lighting kits\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eFinely detailed with prototype accurate painting and lettering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eFree and smooth rolling trucks for maximum performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAll cars are equipped with Kato semi-automatic knuckle couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eDesigned to be pulled by Kato’s EMD F40PH or GE P42 “Genesis” Locomotives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eCreate the perfect Amtrak train by adding one or more of these F40PH Locomotives, each sold separately:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productView-title\" data-product-view-url=\"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/kato-n-176-6108-dcc-ready-emd-f40ph-locomotive-amtrak-phase-iii-scheme-amtk-350-w-o-ditch-lights\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/kato-n-176-6108-dcc-ready-emd-f40ph-locomotive-amtrak-phase-iii-scheme-amtk-350-w-o-ditch-lights\/?ctk=7c0821a6-dbe4-4c9a-b460-97762ac064e5\u0026amp;showHidden=true\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eKato N 176-6108 DCC Ready EMD F40PH Locomotive Amtrak Phase III Scheme AMTK #350 w\/o ditch lights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productView-title\" data-product-view-url=\"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/kato-n-176-6108-dcc-ready-emd-f40ph-locomotive-amtrak-phase-iii-scheme-amtk-350-w-o-ditch-lights\/\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/kato-n-176-6109-dcc-ready-emd-f40ph-locomotive-amtrak-phase-iii-scheme-amtk-405-w-o-ditch-lights\/?ctk=26f0931b-2e79-4043-aa4c-376c72cd1264\u0026amp;showHidden=true\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eKato N 176-6109 DCC Ready EMD F40PH Locomotive Amtrak Phase III Scheme AMTK #405 w\/o ditch lights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionContent\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kato N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320775127193,"sku":"KAT1063531","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/3__08634.1780571921.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784168018","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/kato-n-106-3531-amtrak-superliner-i-passenger-cars-amtrak-phase-iii-scheme-6-car-set","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
