1960s photo on the Rocky Mountain Rocket in Colorado. It was a pretty sad railroad by this time. I think this unit wore about 8 different paint schemes before it was retired, with only the first attractive. We're lucky it looks so nice today. http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00005926+OP-5926 ryarger@rypn.org |

Ebay has a listing for another ex passengar car used as a resturant in Danville, IL. Just from glancing at the photos inline, I suspect the seller is wrong on the age of the car, and with the door cut in the side, I would question that the "Car is movable by rail " Anyone know more about its history? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2469660353 Pullman Dining Car - circa 1900-1920 Brandi_n_la@yahoo.com |

This P-S diner didn't move far, as it is now located in Kennekuk County Park, which is northwest of Danville, next to the C&EI depot from Bismarck. The diner was formerly part of O'Leary's Pub in Danville, which was moving to a new location when the car was listed for sale back in 2004; the pub just recently closed--here's the article from the Danville News Gazette, which mentions the car: http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2013-07-10/danville-restaurant-closed.html Does anybody know the identity of this diner? Thanks in advance!
