Much of that equipment was aging, steam heated, and in need of modernization. Amtrak began addressing the problem in 1973 with its order for the first Amfleet cars from Budd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.9;\"\u003eThe initial order produced 492 Amfleet I cars. Distinguished by doors and vestibules at both ends of the car, the Amfleet I fleet was produced in several configurations centered primarily around coach and food-service use. Their stainless-steel construction and distinctive rounded profile quickly became synonymous with Amtrak, and Amfleet I cars remain in service decades later, particularly on shorter-distance routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.9; margin-bottom:38px;\"\u003eThis Kato set brings the long-lived Amfleet I into the present day with Amtrak's Phase VII livery. The modern scheme uses a dual-blue appearance with different accent colors identifying service levels — red for first class, light blue for business class, and green for coach class. With a Cafe car and three separately numbered Coaches, this four-car set provides an excellent foundation for contemporary Amtrak passenger operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background:#eef6fa; border:1px solid #b8dce8; border-left:8px solid #45A1BB; border-radius:12px; padding:28px; margin:0 0 38px; box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"color:#0c07e3; margin:0 0 18px; padding-bottom:10px; border-bottom:2px solid #45A1BB; font-size:24px;\"\u003eSet Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.9;\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv style=\"position:relative; padding-left:22px; margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cspan style=\"position:absolute; left:0; color:#45A1BB;\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003eAmfleet I Cafe Amtrak Phase VII #43379\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv style=\"position:relative; padding-left:22px; margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cspan style=\"position:absolute; left:0; color:#45A1BB;\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003eAmfleet I Coach Amtrak Phase VII #82583\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv style=\"position:relative; padding-left:22px; margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cspan style=\"position:absolute; left:0; color:#45A1BB;\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003eAmfleet I Coach Amtrak Phase VII #82777\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv style=\"position:relative; padding-left:22px; margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cspan style=\"position:absolute; left:0; color:#45A1BB;\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003eAmfleet I Coach Amtrak Phase VII #82899\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv style=\"position:relative; padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cspan style=\"position:absolute; left:0; color:#45A1BB;\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003eOfficially licensed by Amtrak\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color:#0c07e3; margin:0; padding-bottom:8px; border-bottom:3px solid #45A1BB; font-size:24px;\"\u003eWhy We Love This Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.9; margin-bottom:38px;\"\u003eThere's something especially interesting about seeing one of Amtrak's most enduring passenger-car designs wearing its newest colors. The Phase VII graphics give the familiar stainless-steel Amfleet I a distinctly contemporary appearance, while the combination of a Cafe and three different Coach road numbers creates more variety than a coach-only set.
