QUOTE: ...... today I saw Amtrak's Missouri Mule (twice daily roundtrip between KC and St.L) pulling some old UP passenger equipment including a whistle stop style platform car at the end. This seemed like quite a coincidence. So I am wondering, is Amtrak running some type of promotion pulling some of this older equipment in paint from days gone by, or is there some other explanation? I am sure some of my protytype railroad friends on this forum will know.

QUOTE: Originally posted by n2mopac I read a post on the MR site a few days ago about someone who spotted an Amtrak pulling some older passenger equipment still wearing the paint scheme of the original road. Several people responded saying these were probably privately owned cars that people were paying to have pulled by Amtrak. Well, today I saw Amtrak's Missouri Mule (twice daily roundtrip between KC and St.L) pulling some old UP passenger equipment including a whistle stop style platform car at the end.
