The new Horizon fleet consisted predomitly of two basic car types – Coach and Dinette – with 86 and 18 cars respectively forming the 104-car order placed with Bombardier. An Amtrak Classic Over the years, the Horizon cars have remained largely unchanged from their as-built appearance, with the only predomit visual differences being the evolution of the Amtrak paint schemes from Phase III through Phase IVb. However, two key changes that have occurred include the replacement of the original power sliding doors with manually-operated parlor doors, and the replacement of the fold-down stairs with fixed steps.
