Re: [CBQ] Buffet-obs-sleeper 483 Minneapolis Club

All-

I may be mis-remembering seeing a photo of the car without the small skirting left on the back end of the car. 

The silver paint does not make the car attractive though…somehow the combination of shiny silver trucks and underbody equipment and the aluminum paint on the sides just don’t work!

Thanks for correcting the record!

Guys:

 

First off, the photo and the attached image I shot in Denver in June 1967 both clearly show the 483 retained its rear skirting after being painted aluminum.

 

Next, GN 1196 is the Port of Vancouver which, along with sister 1195 Port of Seattle, were parlor-observation cars built by AC&F in 1950 for the International.  And the GN car on the next track is one of the blunt end cars used on the Gopher.

 

I feel pretty sure the photo was taken pre-merger at the Mississippi Street coachyard in St. Paul.

Suggest the location is post-merger, either ex-GN Mississippi St. (St. Paul) coach yard or ex-NP St. Paul coach yard/commissary.
