Oh how I miss this car. I worked for the man that owned, refurbished and named her.

Great book! Glad to see that someone else had read it and named a car after Dagny!

That is, HANDS DOWN, the best name for a rail car I’ve ever seen! I will lease that car someday for a trip. A new thing for my bucket list.

Thanks for the fun cool video. My grandfather was a loco. engineer for southern railway. He lived in Va. He snd the other railroad men didn't like private cars. That meant the road foreman of engines and trainmaster usually road the train. Any time railroad official road the train.

Fantastic, your behind the scenes vignettes are excellent insights of railroading.

And here I thought Dagny Taggart was Slim Pickens' character in the movie Blazing Saddles.

I have conducted a train with Dagny. The rear bathroom septic tank can not handle 50 middle school kids. ;}

Does this car have USB outlets in case someone rents it

@1940limited 2 года назад

I doubt it. This car was built way before the Internet.

@Greatdome99 2 года назад

Those aren't roomettes, they're bedrooms (to sleep two). Roomettes have only one drop-down bed, and occupy only half the width of the car with a center hallway.

@gravelydon7072 2 года назад

Roomettes can have two beds. The lower seats serves as one bed when folded down and then another drops down from the ceiling. Bedrooms normally have both a toilet and a shower. A Roomette will not have a shower and some do not have toilets either.

@rosemarycornwell1528 2 года назад

Sleeping cars built from the 1930s on during the streamliner era with roomettes only had one bed. Those are the cars that became Amtrak's "Heritage" fleet of sleeping cats. Superliner and Viewliner roomettes have two beds.

@FreedomLovingLoyalist 2 года назад

@@1940limited I mean, just look at the Observation lounge. Office chairs, random posters, random TV, It's been so heavily modified from it's original historic self that it looks like a fantasy room from Disney Land. I don't mind the Kitchen and the bedroom but the owner should have kept most of it's heritage.

@@FreedomLovingLoyalist One is lucky if he can find a car in this condition, let alone visit or ride in one. I'll take Dagny Taggart as is in video to a squishy airline first class flight with unruly passengers and a hair trigger FAA that forces flight cancellations for a little rain shower somewhere.
