In this video, ASTA mechanical volunteer Bennie Kirk gives us an overview of the power car, as well as talking about the generator lift, wiring for the control cabinets, 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 add a generator within the car. This will power our passenger cars on our weekend excursions.
