[PRCo] Little Juniata Rapids - PRR Heritage Passenger Train

[Bob Rathke]

Little Juniata Rapids was a 10-6 sleeper built by Budd in 1953 for SP's Sunset Limited. Â Amtrak operated this car on the Auto Train before the 10-6 was rebuilt by Juniata Terminal Co.

   Ken   I doubt you rode on the last car, PRR 120, as it was the private 
caro= f the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Â  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. Â  
The sleeper is Little Juniata Rapids, and it is also not orig= inal PRR, but 
I forget its ancestry. Â  The two E-8s hauling the train are genuine article 
PRR, so perhaps you= rode behind at least one of them. Â  Dwight
