For any of you that have the money and the means to move it, there is a passenger that is free to anyone that will move from Panora, Iowa and preserve it. From the car owner:

It was a 1941 Union Pacific car part of the Prairie Rose train. The name was affectionately known as "Alice". It was purchased from a farmers pasture. It was restored and used as a restaurant in Panora for tour buses. The restaurant operated until 1998 when the restaurant was closed for health reasons and the car was unused for other than storage since then. It needs a home it is our wish the car is not scrapped. It is one of two alike. Heavy weight steel. It survived the war since it was used as a blood donor car during the war by the government. We are moving in 60 days and must dispose of the car.

Wasn't there an L&N lounge car there at one time from the Atlantic, Iowa auction? I think it has since moved south, but these are old recollections at this point. If this UP car is the one I'm thinking of it is a Harriman roofed Obs car?
