A really fine group of pictures, Marty! Can't wait to see the RPO 'refurbushed' and included in the train. Good job to all you guys!
As a minor sidenote, I believe the correct designation for the 1530 is Dormitory Lounge. Its rebuild floorplan can be referenced in the UP Streamliners book. And thanks for not calling the 542 a coach. It really is a chair car!
Thanks for sharing!
