chair car

Reserved seat railcar

A chair car is a railroad passenger car with individual reclining seats rather than compartments or sleeping berths.

The term distinguishes these coaches from sleeper cars, dining cars, or observation cars: We booked seats in the chair car for the daytime journey.

In American rail travel, chair cars typically offer more legroom and comfort than standard coach seating.
