So, is the Alaska 751 (DMU) used as such anymore, and if so, where? Everything I can find is quite dated. It was on the "Chugach Explorer" but this area now appears to be served by the "Glacier Discovery," which appears to be a "conventional" passenger train. Is the DMU being used (as a DMU) anymore, or simply a "passenger car?"

Rode on it back around 2015, and it was simply being used as a passenger car on various services.

Had they physically removed the Detroits from the car, and the drive arrangement from the trucks?
Don't remember. There was a paper posted on the wall discussing the car's origin and the FRA project, but then just a vague statement about why it didn't work.
