Adding the Power Car to the Train - Ep. 7 

For 3 years, many dedicated volunteers rebuild a baggage car to power lights and A/C on our passenger trains. In this video, we switch the car in for its first run on the mainline.
The Power Car was originally a Santa Fe baggage car, manufactured by the Budd Company in 1953. We purchased this car from Amtrak, and since then have been doing a thorough restoration on the car to install a generator within the car so it will work with head-end power (HEP). This will power our passenger cars on our weekend excursions.
