What's your favorite UP Heritage Car? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

UnseenthingsOGR Forum Member

For those of you that have ridden UP, do you have a favorite car? I really enjoyed City of San Francisco on my Lionel trip out of Denver a few years ago, and looking forward to spending 3 days aboard the Shiloh Limited. I am told we will be sleeping aboard,(not sure why UP would allow that...) but I doubt the sleeper cars will be provided on this trip, so I'm trying to figure out what corner I'm going to stake out. Anyone else here going to be aboard?

Cheers!

For me it is the City of San Francisco dome lounge, it is still configured for end of train use and is drop dead gorgeous inside.

I've always preferred the tool car. It is closer to the "symphony", with less people around.

Was the 60' boxcar painted as an express box ever used in that service?
