The Pacific Parlour Car: is the First Class Lounge Car only available on the Amtrak Coast Starlight. It is only open to those passengers traveling in the Sleeping Cars. This car was added to the Amtrak Coast Starlight temporarily as an experiment to see what effect it might have on ridership. It was only supposed to be on the Coast Starlight until September of 1995. Evidently it turned out to be quite popular and has had a very positive effect on ridership. Not only was the Pacific Parlour Car retained, but it has been completely refurbished and remodeled to better serve its purpose!
