I spotted this car stored, and it appears unused in some time near the US 33 grade crossing in Wapakenota, OH. Upon some light research she was built in 1939. She is classed as: BDR/Buffet/Lounge, car build number: 10588, converted into Parlor-Buffett-Lounge Car 647 October 1958, and sold to a guy by the name of Ted Church in October 64'. Does anyone have any info on a current owner or any plans for restoration? As far as NYC Pullmans go she doesn't look as bad as a few others I have seen in museums. Here is a bad distant side shot:
Also she is coupled to another very rusted coach that is unrecognizeable as to a road name or car number, and from the photo doesn't appear to have the newer car ends or any marker lights to suggest Amtrak PV operation.
