Fancy private car of the New Orleans Public Belt RR, last year. Probably damaged now.http://www.larailphotos.com/Bill+Lang/N ... k.jpg.html

I'll be damned if I can find it now, but I had photos earlier today of the ex-Wabash car (basically gutted, can serve as either a chair car or a dining car), along with the NOPB motive power,. all safe and sound in Houston in the past 24 hours.

It was on Trainorders western board. Car looks pretty nice.

Is that the "Chief Keokuck", a WAB parlor-obs that ran in regular service into the late 60s, and was restored for operation by people associated with the Keokuck Juntion Rwy in the 80s?

NOPB locos and ex-Wabash car are reported safe and sound in Houston, Texas, riding out the chaos.
