@VistaDomeScott posted:Unpacking my Viewliner cars today, and of course absolutely thrilled! I have discovered a paint scheme variation on Sleeping car #62500 "Portage River" that differs from pictures online. Did Amtrak repaint these after production and remove the "arrow" logo and the word "Amtrak" to the "travelmark" logo? Amtrak scholars please inform.
I love the car either way but may ask Christine Braden to recreate the look of the car in the picture (link attached) which was at the factory in New York. Dependent upon info from the knowledge of the forum. If this was short lived at the factory and redone before revenue use I may reconsider having the car rebranded.

Yes, I believe the first two cars of each variety received the old Amtrak logo. (At least the first two sleepers and the first two bags...not sure if the first two bag-dorms received the old logo)
They were eventually rebranded to match the rest of the fleet.
None of them entered revenue service with the old logo. It was just for promotional purposes.
