Somewhere in the deep recesses of my failing cranium there is a very vague memory of Amtrak attempting to persuade TransitAmerica, which was the rail remnant of Budd, to stay open just long enough to build an order of coaches. By then it was too late for Red Lion and Amtrak had to look elsewhere. Just imagine a fleet of Amshells with the larger windows and cast trucks.
