It's the car before the dome I'm curious about - a sleeper, I think..

That's GN 1320 with the blue tarp on the dome.

I was there this last weekend to get it ready for the winter. I can tell everyone that the Silver View is still in the demolition stages on the lower level under the dome. Work is progressing slowly, but steady. We found out a month and half ago that all of the glass panels, except for two, in the dome are in great shape and can be saved. This was a great cost savings for us and we are very excited that those saved dollars can be used for something else. This next spring we are expecting to accomplish demolition of the lower level, removing all of the old electrical wiring from the car, resetting the seating in the dome, so all seats face forward, and re-installing the original, but restored dome ceiling lighting. We are also going to start cleaning and acid washing the exterior stainless
> steel body. If we can accomplish all of this next year, the Silver View will have great start to riding the rails again.

Noted what appeared to be Silver View, Silver Crown and Silver Glow amongst others there about a month ago - one car had no visible ID that I have a question as to the original ID (might be an ex-ATSF "Indian" series sleeper, but not sure) Six large windows on one end, six smaller ones on the other.
