In this video, ASTA mechanical volunteer Bennie Kirk gives us an update on the power car, talking about the plenum frame, the brake wheel, finishing the doors, and future plans.
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.
