OK, I must have missed something. What's a Viewliner 3?
A new Viewliner, but with the private toilets restored?
Sorry, I meant viewliner 2's :blush: I was thinking like, there are superliner 2's so the next would be 3's
If any body doesn't know, here is the wikipiedia part on them
Viewliner II
In the 2009 budget, increased funding was provided to allow Amtrak to initially order 130 Viewliner II cars in the form of diners, sleepers, baggage-dorms and baggage cars with an option to purchase 70 additional cars.

On July 23, 2010 Amtrak placed an order worth $298.1 million with CAF USA, a fully owned subsidiary of
Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles located in
Elmira, New York, for the full order of 130 new cars. According to Amtrak president
Joseph Boardman, CAF's capability to construct the entire car at its factory, rather than relying on subcontractors, as well as submitting a lower bid, were the reasons the company won the contract over
Alstom, the only other bidder.

The order totals are as follows:
