What was a Metroliner?

Originally a high-speed electric passenger car developed by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the U.S. Department of Transportation to improve service between New York and Washington.

After the original passenger cars were downgraded, Amtrak continued to use the Metroliner name to market its high-speed Northeast Corridor passenger using other types of equipment.

With the extension of electrified train service from New Haven to Boston, and the introduction of new higher-speed Acela trainsets in the year 2000, Amtrak retired the Metroliner brand name.

The same body-type was used on the popular Amfleet corridor cars which were common in east-coast and also California service before the introduction of the bi-level Surfliner equipment.

Some Amfleet cars can still be found in coach service in the east.
