Courtesy of www.trainorders.com <br />A special Chartered Passenger train will roll through central Ohio on two routes of the former Pennsylvania RR today, Monday, August 2. <br /> <br />The train consists of privately-owned passenger cars and will be pulled by two restored Pennsylvania RR diesel locos owned by Bennett Levin. <br /> <br />Both locos were built by Elecrto Motive, one in 51 and the other in 52, purchased by the Penn and later belonged to Amtrack & Conrail. They were purchased by Bennett <br />from NS & CSX after the conrail split and restored. <br /> <br />The parlor lounge car was built by Budd in the 1950s and originally traveled the rails as part of the Sunset Limited and was re-built in 2002. <br /> <br />The PRR business Car was built in Altoona in 1928. It's greatest claim to fame is that <br />it carried the remains of Robert Kennedy from New York to Washington DC. <br /> <br />The car re-entered service in 1991 after being rebuilt.
