That may well be the case, they could have been scrapped, but they did
appear in the March 1991 issue of Trains magazine. Not sure when those
photos were taken. I found the issue on eBay and its in transit to me. But,
again, the satellite image clearly shows at least four observation cars. One
or two could quite possibly be the N&W cars.
