Thanks for the shots.  Anybody know the heritage of the unmarked car?  Looks like it may have been an observation car with the end windows.  Maryland commuter service on the other car is obvious.

That's the ex-B&O 5 bedroom buffet observation lounge "Wawasee", built by PS in 1950.  It's an ex-AOE car, so the interior has been modified quite a bit.  It was built with fluting below the windows.  Was first smooth-sided by Amtrak in the mid-1970's.

Hi Top[fuel
Thanks for the iformation on the car

They were at the Western Maryland Scenic RR , there was a 3rd car that came over from the WMSR last week but it was separated from the other 2 on Saturday in the CSX yard at Cumberland. 

Nice catch Tom and an ex B&O car to boot.
