[CBQ] Silver Veranda

["domelinerdude" <domelinerdude@yahoo.com>]

Sure would be nice if...

It would be a good thing if the BNSF could do a great thing for preservation of 
history and donate the "Silver Veranda" to a group like IRM. 

Not only is it the last surviving Vista Dome Observation built in this country 
by the late Budd Company, it was the feature tail car of the last full length 
post war inter-city streamliner or zephyr built in the 20th Century.

Unfortunately, after a wreck on the Amtrak "Floridian" in the seventies, the 
sister car "Silver Chateau" was cut up after a sale by Amtrak to a scrapper who 
had it sitting in Indianapolis for a while.
 
With the historic significance of Silver Veranda, BNSF would do well to make a 
terrific gesture and donate this beautiful car that has been in storage for 
some time. 

I live in California but would happy to travel cross country to a museum such 
as the IRM to see it!

Just my suggestion.
