BLUE RIDGE CLUB and PACIFIC HOME will operate on the head end of train 7 (11) from CHI to SEA.

Private cars PACIFIC HOME and KITCHI GAMMI CLUB will operate on train 51(07) from NYP to CHI.

WRT Jeff’s post above, the cars being run are ATSF business car 23 and Pullman PACIFIC UNION (10-6 from Buss, 1950). PACIFIC SANDS, rather than PACIFIC UNION, will accompany the business car. PACIFIC SANDS is based at Los Angeles. Owned by LA Rail. PACIFIC UNION is based at Rensselaer. Owned by Web...

Amtrak will not handle private cars on the Ethan Allen Express when the train is extended to Burlington VT. Another destination and route lost to private cars, for the foreseeable future.

URHS of NJ is operating their HICKORY CREEK and NYC 43, from NYP to ALB and return to NYP, on trains 233 and 244, on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the month of June.

Train 19 (May 4) was not scheduled.

CARITAS and CIMARRON RIVER will travel on train 92(30) from MIA to WAS.

I expect they will travel from WAS to CHI on train 29, but they could wait for train 51(03). Depends on how tightly Amtrak enforces their WAS parking and switching restrictions.

This is an AAPRCO sponsored special train, so passengers must be members of AAPRCO. I believe associate membership (for those who are not car owners) dues ar...

Does anyone know if Patrick Henry bought PV BERLIN? It’s sitting on Track 27 (aka House Track 1) at Kansas City Union Station between his dome and his Pullman. I must admit, it’s nice to see 3 ex UP cars together. To the best of my knowledge, BERLIN is still owned by Dr. Kevin Moore. Patrick Henry ...

i think the panels were primarily to reduce dust intrusion into the car? I agree with you. I can not think of another good reason to modify the car in this manner. The railroad seemed to be satisfied with vestibule chains, rather than folding end gates, for safety purposes on locomotive hauled coac...
