Conrail
1 - Observation Car
Amtrak Private
Car # - 800221
Built in 1927
as a 12-1 drawing sleeper named Shannon. Throughout its history, the car
changed names many times. In 1964 the car became Office Car 10 for
the Southern Railway. The car was renumbered to Southern 3.
In 1982 Conrail purchased the car for use on it's OCS. Conrail 1 was
assigned to Ron Conway and Gary Spiegel. Norfolk Southern has since
renumbered the car and continues to use it on its Office Car Specials.
