Passenger Trains > 4 PVs headed east on Amtrak 48 Tuesday 9/21/21Date: 09/21/21 05:00 4 PVs headed east on Amtrak 48 Tuesday 9/21/21 Author: JPB Perhaps these 4 cars are headed for the AAPRCO convention in Burlington VT September 29-30?
The 2 middle cars look like Webb Rail charter cars sleeper Pacific Union and an NP dome/sleeper(?) but I can't identify the other 2 cars. Specifically does anyody know what the heavyweight business car in the NYC livery is? Thanks.

Do you know if the "America" was originally a NYC business car? Apparently the car was recently restored by its owner, Midwest Railway Preservation Society, and is registered to the Cleveland Terminal & Valley Railway as CTVX5 (Amtrak ID is 800086). The car is rumored to have been used by JFK for a 1960 Whistle Stop campaing train on the NYC across MIchigan? I think this car was originally built for the NYC in 1928 as Office Car #5 and ultimately became Conrail #4?

The rest should be going to Albany.
