This is my first attempt at posting a video shot with my IPhone 6. The General was a premium fare all Pullman train between New York and Chicago second only to The Broadway Limited on the PRR. As car builders delivered new equipment for the 48 Broadway the prewar Broadway cars went to the shops for interior refurbishing and the new postwar 3 strip paint scheme. Many of these cars were assigned to The General. My consist includes a number of 38 Broadway passenger cars (imported by Sunset in the 1980's) that were detailed by Dan Pantera's Calumet Shops. I had Dan partially de-skirt the car bodies so they would look as the prototype did in the 1952. Other cars in the consist include a Mac Shops Budd 21 roomette, a 12 roomette/5 bedroom (duplex)sleeper, and a D85 twin diner. The last 3 cars were built by Dan using brass sides punched by Dick Bregler. At the front of the train is a transcontinental 10/6 sleeper (AtlasO) which will be handed off to the California Zephyr in Chicago.
