Good evening,

Thank you for the replies.  Just seeing two cars like this came as quite a surprise.  Paticularly on the old Piedmont and Northern tracks. 

With all the congestion on Charlotte, NC roads it would be great if Iowa Pacific could regain access into Charlotte, add new cars, and be a commuter rail line as well as having the occasional excursion with the classic cars.

They are owned by the Washington, D.C. chapter of NRHS.

Both coaches are owned by an NRHS chapter and are under lease to Iowa Pacific.

Greetings,

Cruising through the "sprawling metropolis" of Ranlo, NC I just spotted these 2 cars on the old Piedmont and Northern with Trains Magazine on the side.  Anyone know what's up?  Sorry I didn't have a camera.  2 San Louis and Rio Grande engines were in front off but not couple to them.

Thank you,

Bobster
