<br /> <br />The cars were in PRR colors, right? Was the last one a heavyweight business car with a brass railed observation platform? <br /> Bennett Levin, a wealthy Philadelphia buff, owns the business car Pennsylvania and other cars as well. My daily commute takes me right by the yards outside 30th Street station, and recently - this past week, I believe- -I saw an entire Pennsy train, with an E8 and about three cars. Last I heard, he didn't own the E - I think that belongs to the Blue Mountain and Reading, but that information is pretty old. At any rate, it is safe to say that what you saw was Bennett Levin's train, one way or another. <br /> Which train was it on the rear of, do you know? One of the Pittsburgh trains?I don't know where the other cars have come from, but they look great, don't they? <br /> On the last run of Amtrak's Broadway Limited in 1997(?), he had the Pennsylvania on the rear and I got to ride from 30th St. Station to Paoli. <br /> <br />Larry
