Twilight Shoreliner
The ''Twilight Shoreliner'' was a passenger train operated by Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor between Boston, Massachusetts and Newport News, Virginia via New York City and Washington, D.C.. Amtrak introduced it in 1997 to replace the ''Night Owl''. It was discontinued in 2003 in favor of the ''Federal''.
== History ==
The ''Twilight Shoreliner'' replaced the ''Night Owl'' as Amtrak's dedicated overnight service on the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak equipped the train with a Viewliner sleeping car, replacing the Heritage Fleet equipment used by the ''Night Owl''. The new train also featured a Custom-class coach and the specially-branded "Twilight Café," which served hot meals and was restricted to sleeper- and custom-class passengers. Finally, Amtrak extended the southern terminus from Washington, D.C. to Newport News, Virginia and moved the departure time from Boston from 10 PM to 8 PM. The ''Twilight Shoreliner'' provided a second daily frequency between the Northeast and Newport News, supplementing the ''Old Dominion.''
Amtrak launched the ''Twilight Shoreliner'' on July 10, 1997.〔 The cover of its Summer 1997 Northeast timetable called the train "An Unexpected Departure from the Northeast"; a full-page inset touted the many amenities available, including showers and in-room first-run movies for sleeping car passengers and the two cafe cars.
Amtrak discontinued the ''Twilight Shoreliner'' on April 28, 2003, replacing it with the ''Federal'', which ran from Boston to Washington, D.C. Ridership from Newport News had declined in 2002–2003, and eliminating the Virginia portion of the route Amtrak could offer a better schedule to travelers on the Northeast Corridor.
