Conrail 9 - Theater Car
Amtrak Private Car # - 800364

 Built in 1954 for the Canadian National Railway as a dining car.  After seeing a few years of work for VIA Railway, Conrail bought the car in 1985. After purchasing the car, Conrail gave it the unique all glass end and numbered it 9. Enjoy some of these pictures I have taken of Conrail 9. I was lucky enough to board this car and get a few pictures will it was still Conrail 9.  CSXT has since repainted the car and continues to use it on its Office Car Specials. Remember to ask for my permission if you intend to use these pictures elsewhere.
