HO WalthersMainline™ X-29 Boxcars pg 6 2 Feb Online TOC_Feb Online TOC 1/14/13 11:42 AM Page 3 Mix Passenger Equipment With Your Freight Trains As passenger service declined, private individuals began purchasing many older cars with an eye towards saving them for future generations. Over time, what started out as a labor of love evolved into a business, as shops took on restoration and rebuilding projects for others. Rundown cars arrive via the local freight line and, after careful restoration, return to service as charter cars for fantrips, business excursions and more. A railcar restoration and charter facility offers an opportunity to add a variety of historic passenger equipment to your railroad. The Cornerstone Rail Car Restoration and Charter shop building kit is designed for easy construction with loads of details and custom signs. WalthersProto™ charter cars feature a beautiful custom scheme with smoke tinted windows. For more realism the Budd shop car has both tarnished and refinished halves to depict a car undergoing restoration.

  • 7 BRASS CAR SIDES 7 Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners
    7 BRASS CAR SIDES 7 Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners CANADIAN NATIONAL AND VIA "EASTPORT" SERIES PULLMAN-STANDARD 8 DUPLEX ROOMETTE, 4 BEDROOM, 4 SECTION LIGHTWEIGHT SLEEPING CARS (PLAN 4124A) [Part No. 173-38] When CN placed its enormous order for lightweight cars with Pullman-Standard in October, 1952, it committed itself to 52 cars in the "Eastport" series, (CN 1110-1161). The 8-4-4 mix of accommodations had first appeared in the 1947 GN Empire Builder "Pass" series, but open sections were of limited popularity by 1954 when these CN pullmans were delivered. The longevity of these cars in CN and VIA service is attested to by the fact that some of the class were the only ex-CN sleepers still running on the few steam-heated VIA trains in 1994. The April, 1955 Official Guide shows these cars assigned to the Continental Ltd., Inter-City Ltd., pool trains, Nos. 45-46, the Northland, Nos. 193-194, Nos. 211- 212, and other trains. (This writer recalls riding in the bedroom of an "E" sleeper on the Super Continental from Vancouver to Jasper to Winnipeg in 1972.) BRASS CAR SIDES is pleased to offer these sides with the research assistance of Canadian modelers Al Lill, Robin Lowrie, Stafford Swain, and Lloyd Perkins. Features unique to these cars or not previously incorporated in our PS sides include the recesses behind the horizontal grabirons, space for fixed steps, lighted car number indicators, and the stretcher window. We also produce sides for the CN "Green" 6-6-4, 18-roomette "South", 17-roomette "West", 4-4-2 "Cove", 22-roomette "Val" PS sleepers, and the CCF-built CN 5437-5654 coaches.

    R O U T E O F T H E Vista-Dome North Coast Limited ek BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners HO North Coast Limited Budd Dining Cars (NP 459-463, CB&Q 458) #173-29 for Con-Cor Conversion, #173-89 for Walthers Conversion Six full dining cars were delivered by Budd in 1957-58 for the Vista-Dome North Coast Limited. They were the last full diners built before the advent of Amtrak. They displaced the Pullman-Standard dining cars NP 450-455 to service on the Mainstreeter. The Budd diners operated between Chicago and Seattle until the end of BN service in 1971. Dining cars were cycled in and out of eastbound No. 26 at St. Paul Union Depot and were serviced at the nearby NP Commissary. Five of the six cars were purchased by Amtrak in 1971 and operated in the North Coast Hiawatha, and later in the "Heritage Fleet", particularly on the trains between Chicago and New York and Washington. A typical summer consist for the North Coast Limited of the late 1950's and 1960's is listed below.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

    Our Amtrak Equipment In honor of Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary, we have decorated all of the Museum’s former Amtrak equipment with ribbons and numbered signs. When you see one of those signs, follow this guide to learn about their history and Amtrak service. When you see a QR code on one of the pieces, scan it to see photos of it in action. 1. Exhibit Case. Second Floor Gallery. This exhibit case, near the Broad Street Station exhibit, contains several early Amtrak uniforms, photos, dishware and other memorabilia. 2. GG1 No. 4935. Track 3 East. The GG1s are forever linked to the image of the Pennsylvania Railroad at the height of its power, but they continued to serve for many years after the demise of the railroad that built them. Amtrak received many of them, including this locomotive, No. 4935. Some were repainted in a unique Amtrak silver, blue and red scheme, but most remained in Penn Central black. In 1977, Amtrak chose to repaint No. 4935 into the PRR’s Brunswick green and yellow scheme as an early “heritage unit.” It was revealed to the public at a ceremony in Washington, DC’s Union Station on May 14 of that year with the GG1’s original streamlining and paint scheme designer Raymond Loewy in attendance. In that same year, No. 4935 also pulled the last ever Railway Post Office train in the United States, between New York and Washington, DC. 3. E44 No. 4465. Track 3 East. E44s, often called “Bricks” were the last class of electric locomotive built for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
