Hello-

I am looking for history of CSX office car 306 the "Virginia." I've been running into dead ends, only finding this photo that explains the car began life as a US Army hospital car.

Has this car been retired? Any help is appreciated.

She looks very heavily built, and dare I say it? Unattractive for a business car. Nice trucks though.
