Can I see this Corridor Clipper Car on the Amtrak's Metroliner and Regional Trains?

Only 1, it was built using an ex PC Metroliner I think back in the mid '80's.Amtrak Railfan said:How many Corridor Clipper Cars are in service?

The Corridor Clipper is Amtrak's track inspection car. It's full of high tech equipment and video cameras. Attached to the rear of a regular train, it can survey miles of track to check for defects and alignment problems.
Everything is taped, so that experts can slow down the tapes later and look for problems.
That's right.Anthony said:The business car is the Beech Grove.
