Re: Norfolk Southern:
"In 1957 [the car] was rebuilt by the Wabash Railroad for use in maintenance service. Many of its furnishings were removed or damaged. The car was purchased in 1995 by Al Sauer, who spent 25 years completely restoring the car to its condition in the 1930s.

I plan on being around the area in May. I'd love to see this car when I'm out there! Gorgeous work.
