Amfleet I Enhancement Pack

Upon its formation in 1971, Amtrak was handed down a mixed collection of rolling stock with which to operate its services. Mostly built in the 1950s, much of this fleet was rapidly approaching the end of its service life. In 1973, Amtrak turned to the Budd Company to provide new rolling stock for its short-distance corridor routes. Budd's answer was the Amfleet coach, essentially an unpowered Metroliner multiple unit car, which drew design cues from aircraft and other high-speed trains from around the world to provide passengers with jet-age comfort. By 1975, Amtrak had placed an order for nearly 500 new Amfleet coaches, intended to entirely replace inherited coaches on the Northeast Corridor and other short-haul routes around the country. The design would prove to be massively successful, lasting for over 50 years in service and providing the basis for a long-distance variant, which also continues in service.

This pack includes the following:

• New paint schemes, covering 50 years of Amtrak's history
• All-new lights and other bodyside equipment
• New, highly detailed audio
• Various parts and decals controlled by rail vehicle number
• Adjusted physics to more closely represent the prototype

Additionally, a PDF manual comes with this download which describes newly added functionality in greater detail, as well as documentation for modders. If there's any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate to leave a comment and we'll try and get back to you.

A special thanks goes to the following people and groups:
