Description: |
Built in 1928 by Pullman as Bangor & Aroostook #100 for BAR President Percy Todd, and the story goes that when asked about what he thought of the brand new car, Mr. Todd remarked "It suits me." The car was assigned to every subsequent president of the railroad until the BAR bankruptcy in 2003. It was then sold to the Plymouth & Lincoln, which operates the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH. The #100 was used in First Class and charter service on their excursion trains before being sold to Pullman Railtours. Mechanical upgrades and refurbishment for Amtrak certification took place at the Morristown & Erie shops in NJ, and this work was completed in 2012. 1 of 28 private cars that arrived in Seattle over several days for the 2013 AAPRCO convention train to Napa, CA.
