Wordless Wednesday Review
Yesterday I posted two photos of Amtrak Coach Baggage
cars. I took the photos in the fall of
1984 in Pittsford, NY, a town outside of Rochester, NY. These are both former NH baggage/parlor lounge
cars that survived to make it into Amtrak service. In 1976 these cars were rebuilt by Amtrak
into coach/baggage cars. This rebuild
included blanking out three windows on the baggage end of the coach portion of
the cars. I assume this increased the baggage
section of the cars as I am unsure of what the interior looked. The baggage doors were also replaced as some point. The cars
lasted in Amtrak service until 1981 and then were retired. I have no idea why the cars were in
Pittsford, NY nor what has happened to them since then. If anybody knows, I would be very interested
in knowing there final disposition. The
Amtrak information came from the book Amtrak
by the Numbers. I have posted a couple of photos from the web that show the appearance of the car towards the end of the New Haven Railroad.
