The Night Owl was a passenger train operated by Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor between Washington, D.C., and Boston, Massachusetts, via New York City. It operated from 1972 to 1995 on an overnight schedule with sleeper service; it was the only such train on the Northeast Corridor. In 1995 Amtrak dropped most individual train names from its Northeast Corridor services and the Night Owl became another NortheastDirect service, but still on an overnight schedule. Amtrak replaced it with the Twilight Shoreliner in 1997.

At first Amtrak did not feature overnight service on the Northeast Corridor. The last such train was the Federal, operated by Penn Central. Amtrak did not retain the Federal and it made its last run on April 30, 1971.[1] Amtrak restored overnight service on June 6, 1972. The new train was named the Night Owl (numbered 168/169) and carried coaches, sleeping cars, and a buffet-lounge-sleeper. The southbound Night Owl departed Boston's South Station at 10 PM and arrived in Washington's Union Station at 8:30 AM. The northbound train departed Washington at 10:30 PM and arrived in Boston at 8:25 AM.[2]

One regular traveler on the Night Owl was then-senator Joe Biden, who recalled falling asleep (on more than one occasion) on the train north out of Washington and waking up in Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, well past his usual stop at Wilmington, Delaware. Biden jokingly blamed the incidents on fellow senator Arlen Specter, who, Biden claimed, "told [the conductors] not to wake me up in Wilmington."[9]

In October 1984 Amtrak revived the concept of the "set-out sleeper", last seen on the Northeast Corridor in 1970. Amtrak parked a sleeping car at Pennsylvania Station in New York City. Ticketed southbound passengers were permitted to board beginning at 9:30 PM. The car was attached to the southbound Night Owl, which had a scheduled departure time from New York of 3:50 AM. Conversely, the northbound Night Owl dropped a sleeping car in New York at a similarly early hour, but passengers could remain aboard until 8:00 AM. This service made the Night Owl a real option for business travelers between New York and Washington. Amtrak termed this service Executive Sleeper, although New York Executive and Washington Executive were also employed.[10][11] Amtrak ended the service on August 19, 1994, because of equipment shortages.[12]

On December 12, 1990, the Night Owl was involved in what was then the most serious accident in the history of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). While under the direction of an apprentice engineer, the Night Owl entered a curve near Back Bay station in Boston at excessive speed. The train derailed and struck an MBTA Stoughton Line commuter train on a different track. 453 people were injured, although no fatalities resulted. The crash wrecked the two EMD F40PH diesel locomotives which were hauling the train, a material-handling car (carrying express freight), a baggage car, and two Amfleet coaches.[13][14]

In 1995 Amtrak applied the NortheastDirect branding to all intercity services on the Northeast Corridor, save long-distance trains, the New York-Philadelphia Clockers, and the premium Metroliners. The schedule remained the same and timetables still showed the Night Owl name underneath the "Northeast Direct" brand.

The Night Owl made its last run on July 10, 1997. Losses were high and its equipment was outdated. Amtrak relaunched the service as the Twilight Shoreliner. The train carried Viewliner sleeping cars, replacing Heritage Fleet equipment, and a first class-only lounge called the "Twilight Lounge". The train's southern terminus was extended from Washington to Newport News, Virginia. Dave Nogar, then Amtrak's general manager for NortheastDirect services, reflected that "Anyone who rode the Night Owl knows it was a rather unique experience. Now we have a deluxe overnight train."[15]

The engine in question is modeled in LNER dark green, and is numbered one higher than the A3 engine series ever went, though it is still called the the Emerald Knight. (just the set 10194's name with an added K, as you may have noticed.).... and yes, it's a bit dusty. I just noticed, and it's too late to retake the pictures now. (It's been sitting in a open-top bin waiting for the coaches to be built for a while, and I thought I dusted it thoroughly.)

These four regular coaches, (and one guard's coach, seen below) are inspired by the recent Hogwarts Express cars, to save money on wheels and train car bodies / frames. They don't have any of the interior details the Hogwarts Express has, though.

I based the colors of the coaches on a inverted set 10194 (Emerald Night) coach color scheme. I always thought the colors looked better like this, and it avoids the problems of the tan 1 x 4 x 3 train windows used in the original set. (which are very expensive!!)

This is loco 2509, built January 1936 as the very last A3 to roll out of the factory for London North Eastern Railways (LNER). It was given the name Emerald Knight, a name which, while being the name of a wining racehorse from the mid-1800's also matched it's dark green paint job. The engine was usually assigned the the Kings Cross to Scarborough line, hauling the Scarborough Flyer until being withdrawn in 1965.

In comparison, lights are often turned off in long-distance buses and long-haul flights during the night - not accounting for takeoff and landing blackouts that are for safety reasons. Why do trains keep them on all the time?

As a general rule, local commuter trains are usually brightly lit, because there's a high frequency of passengers getting on and off, and people are not expected to sleep in them. Some of course do, but it's not intended. On the other hand, long-distance trains have much softer interior lighting. I've never seen a compartment car in which the compartment lights can't be adjusted. Usually there's some minimum level enforced, to prevent complete darkness, but it's dark enough to allow some sleep.

And of course there are safety and security issues. Yes, pickpocketing can also occur on an airplane, but only as an opportunistic theft: another passenger might see something valuable and seize it. In contrast, trains are frequented by career criminals who have no intention of travelling anywhere, they just want to steal something. That does not happen in airplanes. Bright lighting complicates the thieves' job.

Moreover, trains often get vandalized by certain passengers, who of course prefer dim lights and are discouraged by bright lighting. If the train interior is under video surveillance, bright lighting is necessary to ensure proper quality of the recordings. Again, airlines don't have to worry about this.

Early morning trains and most night trains where the passengers travel short(ish) distances are meant for people to stay awake. And enough light to feel safe is important in those trains.

6 am may be middle of the night for you, for many factory workers it is a normal or late commute. I have seen enough people enjoying a bit of sleep in their morning commute to know that sleeping in full light is possible.

For a First Class experience like no other, private rooms are the perfect option for customers seeking privacy and space on a short trip and added comfort and amenities for overnight travel. Plus, all customers traveling in private rooms enjoy complimentary lounge access in stations and meals onboard.

The placements of the items in the train cars are randomized, with various items always spawning in different places. The Passenger Train used to have a faint ghost-like figure of the drooling zombie Easter Egg, sitting on the front; this only lasted for 20 minutes. As of the 2022 August update, the Passenger Train received a new model.

Police can also play a role with the Passenger Train. Criminals can rob items from the passenger cars, but police officers can grab those items and gain cash from it, in the name of "robbery protection". Police officers can grab many items before they can't earn cash from protecting items. This works similarly to "protecting" the Cargo Ship's crates.

Note: Criminals should check the train thoroughly for police before robbing. If anything on the train is taken, a robbery bag will appear which will disable players from defending themselves. Both teams should also be careful to not get run over by the train, as it would result in them dying instantly.

The smartest way to rob this is to have a vehicle set up somewhere where the player knows the train will pass by, such as the bridge near Rising City Police Station or the old Fire Station location.

Police officers do not need to turn the items in anywhere since they will get their cash immediately if they grab items. Police also do not have a bag, so they can collect potentially everything available on the train, which could give them up to 4,000 with all gamepasses.

Players were unable rob this train twice, so they would get a base amount of 200 XP for a successful robbery. Police, on the other hand, couldn't get any XP for delivering items. Some, however, argued that this XP amount was unfair compared to the Cargo Train, which only issued 150 XP per heist.

This was the case until the introduction of Season 1: New Beginnings, which requires players to complete Contracts to earn XP and level up. Players can get 35 XP as one of the criminal contracts requires players to rob the Cargo Train and Passenger Train without dying. Now, players can get 25 XP from a contract for robbing a train without dying.
