Amtrak 64 passing E.bd through Rochester had 2 stainless cars on rear, Santa Fe, "Esquire", (I may have missed the name spelling), followed by another car with the name "Alexander Hamilton" on the side. (I missed the roadname painted above the windows). Both cars appeared to have a substancial group of riders peering uot the windows. Anybody wanta elaborate any additional info. about these cars and/or their current trip?

Could that Santa Fe car have said "Epicurus" ?

That is a PV Diner that makes a lot of runs.

The Epicurus was scheduled to make a NYC to Niagara Falls trip over the weekend. Here is a link to their web page:

ALEXANDER HAMILTON is owned by the Morristown & Erie Railway ... it is a 1952 Budd parlor observation lounge car, PRR 7129 ALEXANDER HAMILTON, built for The Congressional.

I would say yes to both cars being correct. As I said I wasn't sure of the SF car's name spelling and my conductor stated the name Erie was on the Alexnader hamilton. Thanks guys. Who sponsors these trips? is it like a senior citizen junket or private oranization?
