PPCX 800384 - ex-NYC Business Car #3
Title:  PPCX 800384 - ex-NYC Business Car #3
Description:  According to a webpage by the current owner (VarChandra Inc) of this ex-New York Central business car #3 (see webpage - http://www.nyc-3.com/profile.html), it has had quite a history. The slide taken by Wm J Madden shows what it was like back in 1994. Subsequent changes have been made to it since then. The car is now Amtrak-certified and can be rented for private tours.
