Viewliner 2300

[Anonymous]

It's been a while since Viewliner 2300 (62090?), the first prototype has been seen. According to Arrow, it was stored at DPF (Bear, Delaware) in 1996. Is there anyone who has access to Bear and Can look? Any Comments?
Any help is Appreciated, thanks.

About a year ago I saw one of the viewliner prototypes operating as a dorm car on the Crescent, so I'm sure it has gotten around since then. I'm not sure whether this was the one you were talking about, but I know it was a prototype with its funny trucks. Its name was Eastern view. It had regular fluting, and looked normal. Also, what about the 8400, the viewliner diner? I last read that it was in Hialeah Yard in storage.

Wait a second, I think Eastern View was the second prototype...2300 doesn't have a name. Sorry!
