Can someone tell me the big advantage Amtrak sees in using/building Superliners? I have ridden them a few times (Chicago-Mississippi for example) and found them not all that great. The climb up the stairwells is a pain, especially with luggage. The restrooms are downstairs, which requires another climb back down. True they may offer a better view, but what other advantage do they provide over a standard-sized passenger car? They certainly don't improve a train's appearance, and since most rail is welded these days, what does it matter if the passengers are insulated from the so-called track sounds?
