Business Car I

Description

There are a few things I have always wished I could do. One of them is to ride across the western US on the platform or in the lounge of a business car like this one in Cheyenne, Wyoming, September 6, 1970.

And look... unless I'm mistaken that's a Studebaker Hawk parked next to the platform.

I'd really love to ride this fella: [link]

I guess dome cars are not something too special over at your place, at least I often saw pics of some, but around here, the only two trains that had one were the "Rheinpfeil" and the "Rheingold", former TransEuropExpress lines. The one on the pic is regularly used with chartered trains, but I never had toe money to buy a ticked for a ride...

Speaking of Rheingold, you wondered why this beautiful piece of machinery was not under wire any more [link] so I managed to catch one still in service for the special TEE trains: [link] If you've got a very keen eye, you can even spot the dome car further back :lol:
