    The "City of Spokane" #1196, a round-end observation car, painted in original Empire Builder scheme was spotted this morning on the Empire Builder heading west to Seattle this morning!!! On the end of the train carrying the markers no less!! :eek: [​IMG] Does anyone know who owns it, or what it's doing in Seattle right now? [​IMG] Saw some pic's over on Railroadforums.com. Simply awesome!! [​IMG]

    Privately owned? Maybe there'd be some info on the AAPRCO site?

    If I had several hundred thousand dollars, I'd buy, and rebuild a private car..
    Anyone have pics, or a link to the same?

    Sure must have been a sight to see! Any chance of it coming east? To Shelby or anywhere near here???

    :eek: You'd not have much to show for that little money. :( It takes a lot of $$$, to have it legal for use. Then even more to refurbish the exterior and interior......

    :(
