Some differences between the Prototype
and Production Viewliners, which were build by Amerail in 1995-1996,
include that the prototypes only have in room audio equipment, while the 50
Production Viewliners feature both audio and video equipment. Also the
sides of the Attendants Room and Shower Room were switched in the Production
Viewliners. In the Prototype there is only one chair in the attendants room. |

The each car consists of 12 Standard Bedrooms, 2 Deluxe Sleepers, and 1 accessible
sleeper for passengers with disabilities. All rooms have a toilet and sink,
and hold two passengers. The Deluxe and Accessible bedrooms have an enclosed
toilet and shower. For Passengers in Standard sleepers there is a shower at
the end of the car. The unique identifying feature of the Viewliner is its
two sets of windows, one set for each berth |

Eventually, Amtrak
ordered 50 Sleepers from Amerail, which had shops in Hornell, NY and Chicago.
The order was originally for 100 Sleepers, but had to be reduced, for lack of
funding. To date no diners or any additional Viewliners have been ordered. Viewliner 2300 was put into Storage in Amtrak's Bear, Delaware Shops (DPF) in 1998, and presumably has been renumbered 62090. It is still believed to be stored there, but has yet to be confirmed
