The Hi-Levels are a fleet of bilevel intercity railroad passenger cars built by the Budd Company for the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in the 1950s and 1960s. The first two coaches entered service on El Capitan in 1954 and were an immediate success. Budd built sufficient coaches dining cars and lounge cars to fully reequip El Capitan with additional coaches seeing use on the San Francisco Chief. Despite plans no Hi-Level sleeping cars were ever produced.
