Passenger Trains > PV San Marino on Capitol Limited 29 Sept 10

Aberdeen, Carolina and Western Railroad Office Car San Marino is carrying the markers on the 9/10/2017 Capitol Limited #29 en route to Albany NY via Chicago for participation in the AAPRCO Convention special train. The San Marino just completed a complete renovation with new exterior paint by her new owner, the AC&W.

The Capitol Limited does not run thru Albany unless you're trying to say it's now on #29 to Chicago with a same day connection to the Lake Shore Limited #48 to Albany.

Glad to hear the San Marino has a new home. One of the finest Private Cars there is.

More historic info on the "San Marino" formerly the SP 107 "Del Monte" from an earlier RYPN posting :

SP business car #107 "Del Monte" constructed in 1916 by Pullman for Henry E. Huntington, President of the Pacific Electric (PE) as "San Marino". To San Joaquin & Eastern. To SP as #107 "Del Monte". Amtrak registration #800270. Sold to private owner at unknown date and moved to the Allegheny Southern Railway in Roaring Spring, PA, as ASRW #6078. Sold to 2nd private owner at unknown date and moved to New Orleans. Does anyone know the Lot and Plan numbers, and the accomodation configuration/capacity? Also, when owned by Huntington, did the #107 carry PE reporting marks? What was the name/number during SJ&E ownership?

Heads up for MOnday Train 48 Lake Shore Limited,
supposed to have ELEVEN (111) private cars on the rear to ALbany NY according to this info posted on FB :

Train 48 (11) will have eleven private cars on the rear from CHI to ALB. All are heading to ALB for the AAPRCO Green Mountain Flyer.
