Silverliner is the name given to a series of electric multiple unit railcars in commuter rail service in the Philadelphia area since 1958. There are currently 5 generations of Silverliner cars identified by the Roman numerals I through V placed after the name Silverliner. The Silverliner name came from the classes’ shiny stainless steel body shell compared with the painted (or rusting) carbon steel railcars placed in service by the Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads between 1915 and 1936.
