Went by Beech Grove today, got a question
Author: Woodman

Today I saw two, what appeared to be, high level lounge cars.  Glass on top and all.  They were sitting in the back lot.  What's the deal on them, does anyone know.  They looked to be in good shape.  The Grove still has many baggage care set out to work on I would guess.  What are they going to do with the baggage cars, does anyone know?

The former Santa Fe Hi-Level lounge cars in Amtrak ownership are now Pacific Parlour cars.  One went to Beech Grove not long ago.  One may have already been there.

The one not in Amtrak ownership is privately owned and has been offered for sale.

They should also try to get to back some of the other High Level Coaches and the 6 Diners.
They may not get much good. But they would allow extra seats where there is more growth
happening. Like on the Pacific Surfliner and the San Joaquin routes.
