Hard Top Open Air Car
___
The Open Air Passenger Car is of Heavyweight design. It has three axles (six wheels) on each truck instead of the two axles per truck used for the enclosed passenger cars. To give the car a smooth ride, the floor is several inches of poured concrete. This coach, built in 1914, was originally a Lunch Counter coach and work car that served on the Union Pacific.
The seating is bench style. The large openings provide spectacular views along the route, and are the prefered seating for photographers.
And now to assist with publicizing our excursion runs, our website and phone number has been added to the parking lot side of the car.
