N&W Obervations 581 and 582 in Saudi Arabia.

[NW Mailing List]

In his book about Williamson, Vern French suggests they were scrapped in  
1987. I don't know what his source of this information is, but it sounds 
highly  plausible to me, sadly.

I saw that issue and remember the photo.  This has also  been documented in 
several publications including RPC Publication's  "Streamliner Cars -- Vol. 
1 Pullman Standard."  The Saudi railroad also  acquired Burlington Budd 
diner - lounge observation cars after they were  retired as well as a number of 
other cars... too numerous to list at this  time.

just can't remember much  of it anymore.
