Re: Navy 118 (PV) by jhdeasy ยป Sun Mar 01, 2009 9:55 pm The heavyweight business car in question is a former Union Pacific office car, built by Pullman in 1914, certified for mainline operation on Amtrak & Via Rail Canada. PPCX 800188. It is owned by a retired US Navy Chief Petty Officer and his wife. From time to time, they provide the use of their private car to support Navy or Navy-related events. OCV Date: 04/23/11 19:42 Re: Navy Inspection Car Author: SAMaase I wonder if they find a lot of lint in that car from inspecting navels.

Date: 04/24/11 05:01 Re: Navy Inspection Car Author: billio But does it carry torpedoes?
Date: 04/24/11 07:01 Re: Navy Inspection Car Author: sou2601 Suprised the FRA/Amtrak would allow it, because the markers on the rear can't be both red due to naval regs. The rear marker on the right-hand side is green and the left-hand marker is red.

Nudge Date: 04/24/11 13:08 Re: Navy Inspection Car Author: boltmansacto It's 'Navy blue', preventing it from going to Orange Bowl....!
