Do you think we will ever see the Saudi Arabia cars in the States again. I
really doubt it.
I would not send any more of this historical equipment there. The Hill City
cars need to stay in the United States.

I doubt that the articulations were the same.
In fact, if IRM were to get the DZ Pullmans they would have to run them ahead
of the NZ/TCZ power car anyway as they were couplered on both ends and had
their own trucks
(non-articulated on one end of each unit). Best situation would be to reunite
them with their brothers and sisters from Saudi Arabia.

That's true only if the MTZ plans don't become complete - the
newspaper article included "trips around St. Louis" as part of the
