Great shot of a very interesting - at that time, anyway - location.

Those 2 cars with the dark blue paint were owned by a tour company ( whose name now escapes me) that operated them quite regularly on RI trains to/from Chicago. Needless to say, they looked better when running in the other direction. The flat glass in the dome would make this a Pullman-built car, probably from either Missouri Pacific or Illinois Central.

I APOLOGIZE to all for being almost completely WRONG about the info I posted above regarding the Butterworth Tours Dome-Obs seen in the image above. This car was originally built for the Chesapeake & Ohio and went on to have a most interesting life. If you are interested, PLEASE see RPN photo # 267918 for the complete and correct information. mea culpa rdb
