PPCX 800040 - Cedar Rapids Observation Car
Title:  PPCX 800040 - Cedar Rapids Observation Car
Description:  Still one of the most iconic observation cars ever built is the "Cedar Rapids". This ex-Milwaukee observation car #186 "Skytop" features the "beeaver-tail end" As the last car in the massive 2019 New River Gorge Fall Colors trip, it must have afforded those inside with a specatular view.

PPCX 800040 - Cedar Rapids Observation Car
Title:  PPCX 800040 - Cedar Rapids Observation Car
Description:  Directly behind the lead train crew member is the "beaver-tail" observation car with its massive Mars taillight. The Amtrak conductor is waiting for the three Amtrak diesels to finish their run-around to hook up for the return trip back to Huntingon, WV. Another album of mine contains the action sequence for this hookup.
