I miss seeing Levin's Warrior Ridge, PRR 120 Business Car, Little Juaniata (spelling?), and the E8s........But the later are retired due to non-PTC compliant as far as I know. 

Beautiful equipment to see. Thanks for sharing.

The broad view generates a question. What trains would Amtrak generate at 30th St these days that would require an equipment layover in the Penn Coach Yard?

 jp1822: close enough, it's LITTLE JUNIATA RAPIDS

Did not know that any of the four Boston and Maine streamlined sleepers still existed.

Who owns Lambert's Point?

According to this website:

"Lamberts Point" was built in 1918 by Pullman as business car #200 for the Norfolk & Western Railway. It features cherry woodwork with brass fixtures throughout the car, which includes two large bedrooms, a dining room and lounge. ...

During the 1980's this car was based in Norfolk, Virginia and used in various excursions featuring Norfolk & Western steam locomotive #611. In 1985, it was even used on a special six-day trip between Virginia and Kansas City, Missouri. It was later acquired by its current owner, the Friends of the 261. 

However, it seems like it's up for sale - Ozark Mountain Railcar has it listed on their website.

That listing is old. Lambert's Point is now owned by a private owner who has it stored along with his other 2 cars (the Crafts and Beach).
