Amtrak Special Trains and Private Varnish through the years

[@theempirebuilder9144]

Sad to see Amtrak not doing this anymore.

[@NorthlandTrains]

Amtrak has eased up on it a little bit, if PVs are going terminal to terminal (i.e. Chicago to Portland) I think it's still okay.

[@brycesherman8803]

Sad they had to do that. They were great to catch. Anyways, nice catches!!

[@NorthlandTrains]

Thank you

[@trainsofminnesota5375]

One of the biggest decisions and toughest in Amtrak History

[@NorthlandTrains]

Tough indeed, I can understand both sides of the argument.

[@danielboone3770]

[@NorthlandTrains]

Were some of those old Illinois Central passenger cars I saw? Just asking. Have a great day everyone

[@NorthlandTrains]

Some were painted in IC paint yes, at the time owned by Iowa Pacific Holdings

[@johnd8892]

What is the origin of the term "Varnish" ? Was there ever an era when wooden cars were just painted with varnish so that the beauty of the wood grain could be seen externally?
