Hi guys,
being a Silver Streak "enthusiast" for many years, I was watching the film again and again to have detailed looks at some details. The system route map that is visible e.g. in the diner car, of the fictive road AMRoad always catched my eyes and I thought, it was a movie prop, designed for the film to make the appearance of that road more realistic. It was like that until I saw a photograph in the book Amtrak Trains & Travel last weekend, showing exactly the map, used in the movie.

Now I am wondering if anybody can tell, if that was an official design, used by Amtrak. Maybe it even has a name of the artist, etc and second, if the interior shots of the Silver Streak movie were done in CP cars, like I assumed all the time or was done in Amtrak cars. I thought that one maybe can judge by comparing the pattern of the wall carpets?
It would be awesome if some of you guys could help out here.
Thanks a lot, Andrew
