In this video, ASTA mechanical volunteer Bennie Kirk gives us an update on the power car, discussing the fuel tanks, more wiring, lights, doghouse, and painting.
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.
