| Originally built in 1947 by the Budd Company for the New York Central as their Diner #448, the car was a stainless steel fluted sides diner with a seating capacity of 50. This car went through several ownerships - Penn Central #4548, High Iron, etc - until it was purchased in 2003 by the Iowa Pacific. It was repainted in a color scheme reminiscent of an Illinois Central pallet. It serves now on private tours like this Fall New River Gorge Excursion. |
