The Santa Fe had an actual aquarium car, dedicated to Shedd Museum & Aquarium in Chicago. A 1947 P-S baggage car with fish tanks inside, it was called Nautilus II and labeled for John G. Shedd Aquarium in the letterboard. ( Of course the connection here was Santa Fe president John Shedd Reed, the grandson of Shedd. ) A photo of this car appears in the Second Qtr. 2015 issue of The Warbonnet, magazine of the Santa Fe Railway Historical & Modeling Society.
