I've seen many, many photos of New Haven passenger equipment but #1 sure is strange to me.

the New Haven car was originally NH 550, Amtrak 3217 "Bay State", Iron Horse (?) 800140. The car must of had some of the famous Pullman rust repairs done on one end.

That's a private car owner hatchet job of a once beautiful "State" series 6 bedroom buffet lounge, built by Pullman Standard in 1955. Needless to say, this car was not "fully restored" by the owners.

When it was briefly THE IRON HORSE in the mid 80s it had John Wayne fighting Indians in Monument Valley. The bigger one was a long view of the Indians looking down from a Mesa at Wayne's cavalry troop below. The smaller one on the other side showed a closer view of Wayne in a Custer like scene fighting to the last (white) man. The second owner's wife hated the murals and had the painted over creating an even stranger looking car.
