Hot Wheels Railroad Amtrak Baggage Car

Hot Wheels Railroad Amtrak Baggage Car

A baggage car is a special type of passenger car used to carry baggage. These are often inserted into a passenger train as one of many types of specialized cars, including dining cars, mail cars and sleeper cars. Facilities inside a baggage car are often spartan, although often a restroom is included for railroad staff; staff may access the insides of the baggage cars through doors on the sides of the cars, akin to regular passenger cars. Passengers are not often allowed into baggage cars, although combine cars, cars with one section for passengers and another for baggage, also exist. Baggage cars are often inserted between a passenger train's motive power and the remainder of the train.

This model depicts a standard double door baggage car; this was the only passenger car manufactured for the line. The model features a rotary gear which allows a baggage hook to swing out; an included piece of baggage can then be attached to it and transported into the car. This piece of rolling stock has only be found in the Superrails Station playset; as such it has only been found lettered for Amtrak.

SUPER CHIEF

The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railroad launched the first streamlined Super Chief in 1937 with lightweight, fluted stainless-steel cars built by the Budd Company. Hauled by 6000hp ABBA F7 sets, the extra fare train made the journey between Chicago's Dearborn Station and Union Terminal in Los Angeles in 39 hours and 45 min.

The Super Chief was North America's most famous passenger train, with luxuriously appointed conveniences including dining cars operated by Fred Harvey.

The last ATSF operated Super Chief, train #18, arrived in Chicago on Sunday, May 2nd, 1971; when the railroad
reluctantly handed operation of the streamliner to AMTRAK. In 1974, Santa Fe concluded that the operation
of the Super Chief under it's new owners was of a much lower standard, and asked AMTRAK to remove the name from
their Chicago - Los Angeles service.
