Here is an Amtrak Viewliner II. This one is a sleeper. Photograph copyright and reproduced courtesy of ExactoCreation.

Amtrak has reached out to CAF USA in Elmira, New York, to build new baggage, baggage - dorm, diner, and sleeper cars in Viewliner design. These new cars are designed to replace the current viewliner sleepers, heritage baggage and diner cars. They are painted in Amtrak's "Phase III" scheme, with the old and new logos and "Amtrak America" written on them. During 2014 and 2015 Amtrak has been using the baggage cars and doing high speed testing on the NEC, since these cars will be used on eastern long-distance trains. The baggage cars will run on Superliner trains as well. The delivery of all 130 cars is set to be completed in the end of 2015. 

I think these new cars will be great for Train Simulator because they are the future of Amtrak and will be a must have to all Amtrak fans, like me.
