Amtrak Coast Starlight Pacific Parlor Car - The Parlor Car was added to the Coast Starlight temporarily as an experiment to see what effect it might have on ridership. I think that it was only suppose to be on the Coast Starlight until September of 1995, but through popularity has remained part of the train and is still a part of the configuration as of this writing in January of 1997.

Below are photos of the Amtrak Pacific Parlour cars during the first two years that they saw service
on the Amtrak Coast Starlight in 1995 and 1996. This was before the swivel seats and lounge sofas
replaced the tables. When the Amtrak Pacific Parlour cars were first placed into
service on the Amtrak Coast Starlight in 1995 there were only tables in the car.
There were ONLY five Pacific Parlour Cars ever in existence and they only operate on the
Amtrak Coast Starlight which runs from Los Angeles, California to Seattle, Washington.
Note: "Parlour" is the European spelling of "Parlor" that the Amtrak Coast Starlight has used for
the Amtrak Pacific Parlour Car since its introduction in 1995.
