# 5 westbound at Sacramento

 # 5 had two of the FRA cars on the rear of the train yesterday at Sacramento.  The DOTX 220 and 221 looked very nice behind #5.

There is a web site for the equipment, but it does not tell the lineage of the cars.  I did find out the information below for the DOTX221. 

  • DOTX 221 - (ex-VIA/CN Cape Brule) LW sleeper - lounge car. (RR PICTURE ARCHIVES)
