[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Revenue, revenue, revenue. As to Heritage Cars for the business fleet: Business fleets, whether UP, BNSF, CSXT, NS ... they are immaculately cared for. They get above standard of service and support for line passenger cars. I don't know how many of you have seen Wayner's reprint of the 1939 Pullman Company Private Car Service flyer. It was designed to attract those who planned other people's travel. It identified the cars by feature. It did include 8 Section, Restaurant, Observation Lounge cars, but even those went to the yards and got immaculate cleaning before being sent out on charter. That Budd 10-6 is not going to go out every day. That ex-ATSF Hi Level lounge racks up 1377 every two days, so 90 round trips a year is 124K miles. Add that to its 35 years on the El Capitan/SW Limited/SW Chief (4530 miles every 6 days, or 271K miles a year), and any one of the fleet has something on the order of 13 MILLION miles on it. Steel. Does. Age. [/QB][/QUOTE]
