RailPlan is working with Amtrak to develop a fleet of
vehicles for Overland Cruise Operator, Oregon Rail. The
vehicles are remanufactured Santa-Fe, high-level,
stainless steel Budd cars. The interiors are designed
for a very upscale clientele and for very long, but
comfortable journeys. The style is Art Deco and “90s
Nostalgic Railroad” combined.
Due
to long distances covered in a typical trip, reliability
and maintainability have been give very high priority,
including the creation of a dedicated laundry
maintenance car. Crew dorms and crew dorm/galley cars
have also been developed. The train set consists of 22
cars, including a mix of sleepers, diners, a lounge spa,
a standard lounge, and an impressive observation-lounge
car.
