[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] Better take Mr. Frailey's advice, GBN. Ride it while you can. The two car PRJ operation with the use of the observation as a lounge, sleeper, and diner reminds me of the last days of B&O's National Limited. In the late 60's, the railroad wanted to have good trains until the end, but also needed to cut costs. C&O/B&O management essentially took off B&O's flagship National Limited and merged it into C&O's George Washington. But with regulatory requirements, they still had to retain a train on the B&O. It had a baggage car or two, a coach, and on the rear the very nice Sleeper-lounge-diner-observation car. The cars had started life on NYC's premier trains and the B&O bought them in 1956. Apparently they weren't reading the handwriting on the wall! [/QB][/QUOTE]
