Built by the Budd Company as a 56 seat coach for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1945 and numbered #4067. Retired by the PRR in 1973 and sold to Amtrak and renumbered to #6807. In 1976 Amtrak retired the car and sold it to the East Broad Top Railroad who used the car as a gift shop and snack bar. Purchased in 1989 to be used for dinner train service and eventually sold to the current owner in 2001 and converted into a luxurious private car for use on a tourist train. As you enter the car from the vestibule you come into an open concept kitchen with a large custom made service bar that seats 4 passengers. Behind the service bar you will find a Viking refrigerator, all stainless sink, convection oven, custom 40 lbs ice bin & microwave. As you leave the service bar area you walk into a HUGE dining lounge area with overstuffed chairs, tables and sofas. This room can easily be reconfigured to a large 40+ seat lounge or install 4 top tables and you have a very elegant 48 seat dining room. As you leave the lounge/dining area you enter into a small hallway that leads off to a cozy master room with an upper and lower berth, plenty of storage, restroom and provisions for the addition of a shower.
