The Saudis also had an ex-Powatan Arrow obs (Norfolk and Western RR).  It was a 
smooth-side PS car.

Guys,

I was searching on Google Maps and may have found them. Go to Ad Dammam in 
Saudi Arabia. Some 2.7 to 2.8 km SSE of Ad Dammam is a yard with two tracks 
running NW to SE, each of which appears to be holding cars of possibly 
passenger-car length. On the more northern track is a set of cars with what 
appears to be an observation car at about the middle of the string of cars. I 
do not know if the Suadis had other round-end observation cars, however.

More interesting is the southern string of cars. At the far southeast end there 
appears to me to be a three-car trainset; at the extreme southeast end of this 
line is what appears to me to possibly be a power car. It appears to have a 
long-slanted end. What do you think?
