| Post subject: | Old Passenger Cars Sited |
Over the weekend I was in the East St. Louis area and saw a small yard filled with old passender cars. I couldn't stop and only got an over the shoulder glance but it looked like several pre-Amtrak cars. I noticed at least one observation and one streamlined end car. The yard is located a few miles north of the Gateway International racetrack. Does anyone know what's up with these cars? Thank you. rrtp@midwest.net |

What you probably saw was the site and shops of the Illinois Transit Assembly Corp. It is a private shop that works on railroad passenger cars, and also acts as a broker and a seller of such equipment. Illinios Transit Assembly Corp wilkidm@wku.edu |
