Red stripe on Amtrak cars in Dowagiac

I have recently noticed that a number of passenger cars on the Amtrak trains going through Dowagiac have red horizontal stripes located beneath the windows and run the length of the car. I believe these red striped cars have been part of the Wolverine and Blue Water lines. Would these be older passenger cars previously used on other Amtrak lines?

Those are new Amtrak Midwest Venture cars built by Siemens.

I saw an entire train of red stipe in Battle Creek a few weeks ago. I think on P350

Beer be good. Red Stripe - the Blatz of Jamaica. I've settled entirely on Yuengling lager. Need to get that stuff in Michigan LRF. Thankfully, my home is in WV on the C&O.

The Yuengling family signed a sales/marketing agreement with MillerCoors. We should see it in MI either 2023 or 2024

I wonder if they sell Red Stripe beer in the Amtrak Red Stripe Venture club passenger cars or some other brand.

There will not be Venture club or food service cars just yet. The food service Venture cars will follow after all the coaches are in service. For the foreseeable future, Horizon and Amfleet club cars will soldier on.
