Superliner Baggage Cars?

The one thing they have plenty of is baggage cars. And they're pretty new.

It also doesn't really change the core matter that the majority of people just aren't carrying enough baggage or checking it. You could probably get away with no baggage at all on most trains off the NEC.

Of course regarding the purchases in item 2 we don't know at this time what the composition of the new hypothetical order would be. So we don't know what the number of Sleepers, Coaches, Diners, Lounges and of course Baggage Cars might be.

Absolutely! But even Amtrak management does not know what they will order. As stated elsewhere until Amtrak's prime directive is changed from reducing costs at the expense of service, reliable equipment, capacity, providing proper OBS, etc there will be no change.
Off topic but maybe the Amtrak accounting provides that some service levels on rolling stock are ongoing expenses that go into ongoing costs? Anyone know more? That might be the reason Amtrak is not repairing damaged equipment but purchasing new equipment. Includes both cars and locos.

They already do. 99% of NEC trains have no checked baggage.
