Conference car - Amtrak (US)

The Conference Car is a useful way to make the most of a private rail car journey in the USA. Seating up to 30 (18 in the club section and 12 in the club salons) as well as a conference room seating up to 8, the rail car allows teams to work privately on the move travelling at up to 125mph.

Examples of railway journeys on which the Amtrak 2800 Conference Car may be used, subject to planning, include between New York Penn Station and Boston South Station or Washington DC Union Station or Chicago Union. It is worth emphasising the importance of the Washington DC routing for meetings, lobbying and delegate travel. The conference railroad car can be teamed with a private sleeper coach for overnight journeys or longer trips.

 

Most clients using Private Rail Cars seek a VIP or luxury train travel solution guaranteeing better security and privacy than executive buses; for many, carbon responsibility, a spacious working environment and effective use of travel time between cities are also important. The private Conference Car satisfies all those objectives.

 

The private rail car has the following sections:

•Boardroom / conference table for 8 delegates;

•Salon section in which all 12 seats have tables and an AC power outlet.

•There is a monitor / screen;

•Galley / snack bar;

•Club section with leather seats for 18 and an AC power outlet;

•Two toilets.

 

The Conference Car can be added to certain scheduled Amtrak services, or be part of a private train charter.
