   Ken   I doubt you rode on the last car, PRR 120, as it was the private
caro= f the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad.   The car Warrior Ridge,
now set up as a parlor/dinette, was an= SP car from the Sunset Limited  and
later served on AMTK.&nb= sp; It was called a "French Quarter" lounge car.  
The sleeper is Little Juniata Rapids, and it is also not orig= inal PRR, but
I forget its ancestry.   The two E-8s hauling the train are genuine article
PRR, so perhaps you= rode behind at least one of them.   Dwight
