The Superliners, especially the lounge cars, are appealing to this Texan.  I also like the looks of the Acela equipment.  And I found the Cascades equipment to be appealing, although it does not mesh that well with the locomotives, or at least it did not when I rode the Cascades last year. On the inside, however, the Superliner coaches, at least, tend to be a bit dark and drab.  The windows are relatively small and, therefore, don't admit much outside light.  This is especially true if a significant number of passengers have pulled the window curtains.   The fabrics on the seats, floor, and sides (partial) of the Eagle coaches, at least, are faded blues and browns, neither of which are very appealing.  If anything they make the interior of the car look even darker than would be the case if lighter, brighter fabrics were used.   The interiors of the Superliner coaches, at least, appear to have been designed by the U.S. General Services Administration.  They don't show much imagination. The Superliner lounge cars on the other hand are bright and cheerful on the inside. This is especially true for the lounge cars that have been refurbished. The dark browns and oranges of the earlier versions have given way to pastel blue, magenta, and light gray. They could look even better if Amtrak used more imaginative color schemes.   The interiors of the Superliner dinning cars and sleepers are OK, although both of them suffer from the same lighting problems found in the coaches.
