vintage train

This vintage train car was part of a traveling art installation/happening traveling from New York to Oakland.  I tried to take pictures of the other cars but got shooed away.  Because I left my hard hat and steel toed shoes at home, I wasn't allowed into the area.  Pity.  I was hoping to see an interior.  As for the art happening itself, it was sold out.  Snake eyes.

    This is a real classic. I remember these coaches from when I was a kid. The toilets used to flush onto the railway ties below. There were signs not to flush them when they were stopped in the stations.

    Bueno, vintage o no, aquí hay grandes museos que sí te dejan verlos...
    Me gustan esos, estos, los de aquí: Compañía Internacional de Coches Cama (Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits fundada en 1876), normalmente de color azul con los que viajábamos de noche en los expresos por toda la Península Ibérica, o mejor Celtibérica... :))´
    Breves saludos

    Neat. Imagine having your own car and being able to travel the country in it.

    I would love to make a long journey by train, the more vintage the better. The Orient Express or the Rovos Rail would be my ultimate wishes! :-)

    Uhhhh, I don't understand that at all, but it doesn't matter, because you were able to get a very nice photo of this car.
