American Freedom Train 205
Title:  American Freedom Train 205
Description:  American Freedom Train 205, The Press Car, on display at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on July 28, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from freedomtrain.org: AFT Observation Car #205, "The Press Car": Originally Reading commuter coach #1329, the Press Car was likely built by Standard Steel Car in 1922. While on the AFT it was most often referred to as the "Press Car" and had all the facilities journalists would need to report their stories on the AFT -- desks, typewriters, and even telephones wherever a phone line could be brought to the train.
