Nice video! Fun fact: Amtrak used to transport mail with their long distance trains from 1986 to 2003-04. The boxcars that Amtrak used for this service were unique because they rode on high speed passenger car trucks and had HEP cabling, which kept the flow of Head End Power going from the locomotive to the passenger cars. They were 60 feet long, and were even short enough to squeeze through low-clearance NEC Tunnels. They were numbered 1400-1473, 1500-1569, and were called MHC’s (Material Handling Cars).

SCL used to operate what they called club cars with physical characteristics of what you described as observation cars. The SCL cars had a section of swiveling and reclining chairs and a larger open space with fixed chairs and sofas with copious numbers of ash trays to accommodate smoking. The cars were generally equipped with a partial or full service bar.

So when you meant by part 2 of this episode, does that you'll be doing that next month? Let me know if you can....but I really do enjoy your train talk series, it is always very interesting!!!

The Canadian Pacific built a passenger car with two coupolas based on the caboose for use on it's trains in the Rockies in 1902 for better viewing of the scenery. There were a total of 4 cars but they didn't last long as the windows were not Polarized and the heat build-up more than compensated for better viewing the scenery.

From what I know back in the old days certain trains didn’t carry their own AC or DC power to the cars, so they had to have a specific rail car with a generator designated for that specific job. If you look at some of these legacy trains there are operated by the rail lines Some of them are passenger trains they are pulled by freight locomotives. While freight locomotives “like the GE Evolution series” well freight locomotives do produce DC and AC power they don’t distribute it to the actual cars themselves for that it requires that same power car with a generator on board to be required so that way they can operate the electricity on the passenger cars while the freight locomotive is pulling the train.
