The Private Railroad Car "Francis L Suter" 

Can you imagine having the financial ability to travel the whole U S in this way would be such a sweet dream

What a work of love. I totally get it. How awesome this man and his family saved it.

Bless you for saving this car.

Even though it would take longer than a jet I'd much prefer this than flying.

I rode on this car several years ago, and it is stunning!

Thankfully there are folks like Mr. Dunlap that preserve things like this

Amazing that a business man like that would take the time and interest to preserve such a great piece of history God bless America.

Absolutely the height of luxury; no wonder they were sometimes called "Land Yachts!" Thanks for posting. *(PS* I subbed immediately.)

The closest you can get to the royal coaches of the Victorian and Edwardian Era.

Thank you for sharing this ! Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida.

Truly delightful. Thankfully there are good folks like yourself to preserve important historical pieces like this.

Beautiful Beautiful 🤩

So very Beautiful and very well put together the way you put it together for such a Awesome post. Thanks again lyt for 5

That’s pretty awesome!

Lucius Beebe's "Virginia City" private varnish had a fireplace in the observation room which used propane gas to fire it up. There was a gold/white lattice door on the right which hid the bar area with alcohol and a matching one on the left which led to the hallway and the dining room, suites and kitchen areas. I have been fortunate to ride on the Virginia City several times, the Solano, the Henry E. Huntington, The Espee business car and a few other more modern ones including a vista dome with an updated observation platform added by the current owner! Fun stuff..... Kudos to all of those who have preserved these wonderful old private cars!!!!

I would sell my house and live in that...

absolutely outstanding..

Beyond awesome.

Beautiful railroad car

WoW ! My father worked for the PRR for 45 years. He retired as chief inspector. I happened to see a few 'special' cars but Nothing like this one ! What a beauty. Yes there are truly some folks that love these cars and keep them in private service. I commend you for what you have done..

Great presentation. Thanks for shooting and sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous

Thats my kind of car!! On the railroad!! How cool!! Tim

This is absolutely phantastic. I would move in within a second

Beautiful car

I wish i could find a video of the restoration that was done to this fine car..thanks 4 uploading this

Extremely nice great job👍👍

There would have to be a kitchen of sorts on this car, correct?

Fascinating film clip. The jazzy music does not do this vehicle justice though. I reckon that it would be nice to sit at the fireplace with your loved one(s).

He is so cool !!

I'd love taking a trip on that car! Feel free to contact me ;-)

I like the Francis l suter Private car

beautiful that's how i want to travel

This car was recently in NYC

Seriously considering selling my house to build one of these! However, I would have to add a flatbed section to carry a car or two (and my own crane) to do some local exploring! Are there enough sidings around the country??

I want to live there too sue!

that was so cool to watch sue!

Sweet rail car...I kind of like the original more industrial look though.

To me, if the "private car" doesn't have an observation platform on the rear, it's not private varnish!!! Private cars like the Virginia City, Solano, Henry E. Huntington, Yerba Buena are just a few examples of "real" private cars!!! Of course U.P.'s "Heritage Fleet" has many cars which would qualify!!

Like 🚂

Ypu could either fly from NY City to Chicago on Spirit Airlines, or you could ride the Francis L Suter railcar .....if you're lucky.

i will make you a PRR raisin pie if i can get a ride on that..................
