Powhatan Arrow eBay Slide Record?

Wed Apr 22 15:49:56 EDT 2015

Mike has confirmed it was on a fan trip.  

You are correct, that's the six-axle observation commonly used on the fan  
trips, not an original N&W Powhatan Arrow observation.  The proportions  and 
window arrangement looked wrong immediately.

And, the open windows just cemented things.

Mike,

Just to be clear about things. I don't think your high red image is of an  
original tail end observation car from the Powhatan Arrow. 
First it seems to have a boxed end look and doesn't have the more tapered  
boat tail look of the original cars.
 In addition, I understood the original observation cars were sold  to some 
potentate in the Middle East who eventually painted them white. The  last 
anyone knew they were sitting in a desert somewhere. I think they were  sold 
by N&W sometime in the late 1950's. 

The image you have might be of an old piece of Illinois Central Equipment  
painted up to simulate the Arrow cars. 
 If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Mike:

Sep. '89 would be a fan trip, yes?
