We would appreciate a little background as to the purpose of your queries. You have done nothing but ask, ask, ask - yet most participants at least partake in the camaraderie of the Forum somewhat!
Are you completing a research report? Are you a student? Or, simply an interested Amtrak fan?
Amtrak tried to make money but can't make profits on boxcars. That is the biggest reason. Only thing that can make money is hauling mail. The boxcars will be slowly phased out this year.
