Conrail Business Car #10
Title:  Conrail Business Car #10
Description:  Reuben S. Brouse caught the Buffalo-bound Conrail inspection train just above Driftwood, PA, on this early March day in 1981. CR #10 has quite a history. Built by Pullman as a parlor-observation car drawing room in 1925, it was initially christened "Queen Elizabeth" and served on the NYC Empire State Express. NYC purchased the car from Pullman in 1935 and renamed it "Hudson River." In 1942 the car was renamed "Kalamazoo River" and served the Twilight. The large rear platform was constructed to accommodate President F. D Roosevelt's wheel chair. Then in 1947 it was renamed again to "Victoria Park" before being converted to NYC Track Inspection Car #30 in 1952. It was pulled into special service when JFK's body was transferred from NY City to Washington DC. It was the second to the last car in the funeral train - the last car, PRR 120, carried his body. From there it went to PC roster and renumbered PC #78 in February of 1976. Finally Conrail took possession on 4/1/1976. It was renumbered #10 and a rebuild inside after 1983. After CR, it rolled onto the CSX roster who extensively updated the car and renumbered in CSX 994010 with the name "New York". It remains on their roster but deserves preservation in a deserving museum like the Smithsonian.
