The 28 (second) was NYC's only streamlined business car. It was originally built by Budd in 1948 as a tavern-lounge car (No. 1900), and was intended for C&O's Chessie train. <br /> <br />C&O rebuilt it in 1953 as business car No. 19 (second). It was sold to NYC in 1954, the same year that Robert Young left C&O to become chairman of the Central. The car was sold by NYC to a private individual in 1959, the year following Young's death. <br /> <br />The car subsequently was sold to GTW in 1968, and to CN in 1977. <br /> <br />A photo of the car in NYC service is found at http://www.canadasouthern.com/caso/images/nyc-28.jpg
