Reply to speople: When I rode the Heartland Flyer it was a superliner and two Santa Fe highlevels (not 3 superliners as you said). There are some minor differences, although the superliners are based on the highlevels. If they still are running it the way I saw it, look closely at the outside and you'll notice the highlevels are SLIGHTLY shorter than the superliner(s) by say a few inches. If you do go inside you may notice some floor level differences too. The SF highlevels also will not have SUPERLINER painted on the side. Then again I went a few years ago, so I don't know if they are using all superliners now. And, in case your wondering Amtrak has highlevels, because when they started they had no cars or engines so the government told the railroads that they either had to contriubute either money or equipment unless they continued to have passenger service. So SF contributed mainly highlevels.
