    Thank you Dick for letting us experience your railcar. Not only was this a glimpse of history, but a story of great clever engineering to to upgrade the car to modern standards. Beautiful.

    As far as I'm concerned, a private railcar constitutes the absolute epitome of luxury, and this car is no exception! A FIREPLACE?! The trimwork and crown molding throughout the car looks like an upscale apartment, this is truly stellar. I hope one day to be fortunate enough to travel in one of these cars. If it is God's will for me, I would love to own one later in life. Sure, it's a snail's crawl compared to private jet travel, but this represents an undeniable amount of comfort- and I can only imagine the sight-seeing.
    Super, super cool!

    Certainly a great way to travel and for an updated car it has retained its glamour.(the only way to go) No doubt this car is probably one of the oldest private cars that is capable of Amtrak service. How about we take the car to the corner of the Royalston parking lot and make that your new broadcast booth? Just make sure you keep the toolbox properly filled
