ex-Santa Fe Picuris
Title:  ex-Santa Fe Picuris
Description:  ex-Santa Fe lounge Picuris. Possibly the oldest (or close to it) car aquired from the railroads by Amtrak was this dormitory-bar-lounge built in 1937 by Budd. It was used on the first lightweight consist for the Chief. I saw and rode it quite a few times on the Lone Star in the 70's.

Ex-Santa Fe cars
Title:  Ex-Santa Fe cars
Description:  Stored in New Orleans. The Picuris was one of the oldest cars Amtrak received from the railroads. A dormitory bar lounge built in 1937 by Budd for the Santa Fe. It was used on the first lightweight consist of the Chief. I can't read the number of the next car but it looks like an ex-Santa Fe dormitory lounge ?
