Amtrak #5(14) came through Agency, Iowa this evening with the private observation car San Marino on the end.

San Marino was heading back east on Amtrak #6(15) to Chicago today. I caught this California Zephyr at Ottumwa, Iowa. The train also happened to have the Big Game Train unit, AMTK 50, as its second engine.

 
That car looks pretty old. Approximately when was it built?
1916....

Thanks. That sure is old.
102 years....those old 12 wheeled 'battleships' could withstand a direct hit from a hurricane, no problem...
