10/9/12 at 8:20 am... close to Reed Market Rd

Today on my morning walk I was shocked to see a Red White and Blue Passenger Rail Car

It was a typical yellow / black BNSF engine pulling TWO red white and blue passenger cars ONLY and both had an American flag painted on the sides..

It was more of an “old fashioned” type cars vs a look like a amtrak passenger car.

Here is a pic of what I “kinda” remember what it looked like... "just like the pic... one of the passenger cars was nicer than the other"

Here is a link to what it may have been :American Freedom Train" http://www.freedomtrain.org/american...did-spirit.htm

I didn't see it, but it is possible for the public to purchase a rail car and have it towed along the tracks, for a fee.

I just saw this article in my AAA magazine that arrived in the mail. I wonder if this is the rail car you saw? Treasure: November 2012 | VIA Magazine
