<p>As a result of a previous discussion regarding the Texas Eagle, I decided to pull together the five year numbers for Amtrak's trains that touch Texas, i.e. Heartland Flyer, Sunset Limited, and Texas Eagle. A missing piece is the depreciation charge, which probably consists solely of depreciation on the locomotives and cars.</p> <p>Does anyone know how I can find out how much the P42 locomotives cost? I have run several Google searches without any luck. I can find the roster of Amtrak's equipment and heaps of pictures, but none of the sites have any cost information.</p> <p>The average cost of the first tranche of Superliner cars was $848,592 per car. The average cost of the second tranche was $2,545,776. I got these numbers from a Wikipedia posting. Presumably the cost of a coach was different from the cost of the sleeper, lounge car, dinning car, etc. Does anyone know how I can get the average cost of the Superliner coach, sleeping car, dinning car, lounge car, etc.?</p> <p>I appreciate any help.</p>
