Yes, what you see on the back of Amtrak are Roadrailers. This was supposed to be one of their savours by being able to haul mail along with passenger service. Just don't think it panned out the way they wanted.[:0] <br /> <br />Due to a considerable weight savings for highway use, Triple Crown removed all the MKIV Roadrailers (the ones with the bogie built in) from service and replaced them with MKV's, so what you see today are all with removable rail bogies.
