Display and touring on NTD? EDIT: Formerly a UP business car, also numbered 118.

If it ever made it to D.C., it didn't stay long.

I'm guessing just a layover, and still on its way to the capital. D.C. is not a "one seat ride" from 118's usual home in Michigan. Like any passenger it has to change trains at Chicago.

I saw Navy 118 also on Monday 4/25 in Chicago on my way to LAUS Train day on May 7 considering how long a trip for this car I might see it again on the way back to Las Angeles. I hope there is a Private Varnish open for my 9 year old Granddaughter Even to see,

I got a picture of the car which I will upload after I get a faster connection.

I saw Navy 118 in all its splendor queued up on the back of the CL that came into DC this afternoon on my way out of the city, so it's in DC now... any bets on whether or not it stays here until NTD?

Next time someone sees it coming down the Peninsula subdivision, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shoot me a PM. The timing on this was epically bad (I was headed up to NYP not 18 hours after the last post), but I live close enough to the line here (and not too far from the railyard), so I can probably snap some pictures.
