@RailClipper: The interior of the California Comet cars are in excellent condition. The consensus is that they ride very differently than the salvaged California Superliner I and purpose-built California cars and Surfliners. More leg room, more comfortable seating, but less capacity (for busy trains) and slower egress at station stops. Definitely solid additions to the Surfline roster. Hopefully they can procure a few Amfleet or Horizon cafe cars to complete these consists.
California Amtrak got 14 of these rebuilt NJ Transit cars to tide em over til new cars arrived. They were supplemented by 3 Horizon fleet cafe cars. Two consists of a Genesis unit, 6 Com Arrow cars, cafe and ex F40 cab car were formed. Apparently today the only Comarrow consist is this, the other broken up to add to other trains axle counts.
@@erikthetrainmaster6112 : No business class seats are sold, and no cafe car. With that stated, all passengers throughout the train are offered complimentary business class Amtrak snack packs and bottled water when aboard the Comet 1B consist.
Thanks for sharing! These look much nicer inside then I was expecting
