By the 91 daylight I mean the railfair pulled by 4449 in 1991

I think I remember reading it was a whole mixed bag of cars from different owners and organizations.

The cars I mainly am looking for are the last 4 cars of the train other than 2955 and 2202

I think there was a complete listing of the consist in the Railfan & Railroad article that covered the New Orleans trip shortly after it ran. I don't have access to my copy now but will try to look it up next week. I believe that the observation was named "Appunky Mountain" or such, whatever the correct spelling is.

Just to clarify, the Appekunny Mountain, ex-GN observation car #1290, was used on the World's Fair Daylight in 1984 but not on the 1991 version.

(As of 2018 it was owned by the California Northern railroad.)

I scanned the listing of the 1984 consist and it's attached, albeit in a highly reduced version to be uploaded (If you want a high-quality scan, please PM me. ) Since the cars were arranged with trainlined water lines and propane tanks all on one side, it's likely that the 1991 train was set up similarly.

I've broken up the file into three parts for easier reading:
