------------------------------------------------------- > What Business car is The Coach Yard doing ? This is ATSF business car Santa Fe/Topeka built by Budd in 1955. Car was completely rebuilt in 1990 and the 6 wheel outside swinger hanger trucks were replaced with 4 wheel outside swing hanger trucks. Only problem is the car in this configuration should be letterd for BNSF and have 41 CDO trucks and not the 61 CDO trucks as shown. This is the third run TCY has done of this car.

<< I think santa fe used the cars with the encloser in 1984 at hobart yard >> I caught several director's specials in the early 80s as a brakeman/ flagman. By then they had glass end inspection Car 89 and the Topeka and Santa Fe were bumped to mid-train service. Story I got was Mrs Cena didn't like the way her hair got mussied up when walking between cars while the train was moving, thus the invention of the removable enclosures on the open platform.
