Title: |
Missouri Pacific Rio Usumacinta |
Description: |
In the late 1960s, the car was converted to a work car for maintenance. All but five of the open sections were removed, a lunch counter was added, and the car was painted aluminum. When the museum acquired it in 1990, they repainted it in its Missouri Pacific Eagle Scheme, though it could use some touching up! |

Rio Usumacinta Open Sections |
Description: |
The two seats at the bottom fold down to create one bed, and another bed folds down from above. By the way, my apologies if the picture is sideways or upside down. Photos off my new phone always seem to do that. |

Rio Usumacinta Lunch Counter |
Description: |
Some freight railroad should get a car like this and take it around the country, parking it in different cities and serving ice cream. In case any Class I execs are viewing this album... :) |
