I saw a green private car, Pacific Command and Beech Grove on the Crescent today. I was hoping someone else caught this train and could identify the green car?

Correction on date 4/30 not 5/1.

Beech Grove is a Company service car (business car), sort of like a private car for Amtrak personnel.

The Pacifc Command was dorm 2524, now its 10020 and is now an Amtrak Police Mobile Command Center.

It's being used by Amtrak staff for the anniversary display.
