Viewing Album:  "Airslie" Private Car Ride
 
By:Shelley H.
Dates:6/21/2010 - 6/21/2010
Album Info:These are pictures from when I was fortunate enough to ride the SP 100 Airslie Private Car on its trip out of California to North Carolina on the back of the Southwest Chief #4. It is now being redone in Star, NC. I wish this car the best and I hope to travel out to see it when its complete and tell everyone I rode on it during its last hours in California. I spent the entire time out on the observation platform while we were traveling, so here are pictures from my perspective. Enjoy!
