While traveling through Albany, NY on Amtrak I saw these cars. I am guessing they belong to some tourist railroad or privately owned. Curious if anyone knows where they are from?

See this link. They are private cars owned by Webb Rail and based out of Albany. Amtrak has a large yard here and occasionally we will see other private cars here too.
Thank you. Would be fun to get a group together and do a cross country trip.

The American Association of Private Railroad Car Operators (AAPRCO) will sometimes run their annual trips into the northeast. When they do, they frequently stay overnight in the Albany yard.
AARPCO just finished their annual convention in Burlington, VT. There were AARPCO members cars on a few Amtrak trains that gathered in Albany, NY to be forwarded as a special train to the VERMONT RY. Think they had about 13 cars. Convention is over now and the private AARPCO cars are going home from Albany, NY.
Check AARPCO website for more info and maybe photos too.
