The gallery car configuration — with its distinctive open upper gallery overlooking the lower deck — gave the CNW's 400 trains a unique and modern appearance that set them apart from conventional single-level intercity equipment, and the 96-seat capacity reflected the intercity service's balance between comfort and capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cstrong\u003eAMTK\u003c\/strong\u003e assumed operation of most American intercity passenger rail service in \u003cstrong\u003e1971\u003c\/strong\u003e, it inherited or acquired equipment from the predecessor railroads, including CNW gallery cars that found new roles in the AMTK fleet. Recognizing the utility of the gallery car design for push-pull commuter operations, AMTK's mechanical department converted a small number of the former CNW coaches into \u003cstrong\u003ecab control cars\u003c\/strong\u003e — adding an engineer's cab at one end to enable push-pull operation where a locomotive pushes the train from the rear while the engineer controls it from the cab car at the front. The resulting \u003cstrong\u003eAMTK 9621–9624\u003c\/strong\u003e were a tiny fleet of just four cars, making them among the most prototype-specific and rarely modeled equipment in the AMTK roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating subject that bridges two distinct eras of American passenger railroading — the CNW's proud intercity 400 service and the early years of AMTK's effort to build a national passenger rail system from the remnants of the private railroad era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter purchase, your digital files will be available for \u003cstrong\u003eimmediate direct download\u003c\/strong\u003e from your order confirmation.
