> Dave, Is that the same black round-end car I saw sitting in front of the Alamosa depot last May with a big 'ol barn door hole cut into the side? Could it have become the band stand for the xmas train?

Hi John. A GOOGLE search with the key words "Iowa Pacific, Eaton, 800174" revealed the following, along with some photos:

SLRG Eaton - 800174 (ex-PPCX, exx-ICG 15, exxx-IC, exxxx-IC 3310 Mark Beaubien, nee-2189) Mod. HW parlor observation car rblt. from HW coach.

Formerly the Pontchartrain Club - another car with IC genes. It is now back in brown & orange as SLRG 3310 - with its original name.

Sounds to me like the car you saw in Alamosa was not this car. I haven't been to Alamosa in years and it appears that Iowa Pacific rolling stock is scattered in several places.
