My last stateroom was on this train

Earlier on the Hickory Creek was to

be the ass end but got it sloughed

After that it was left to rot on a

Venice siding & ended up looking

like "Rails #7" as shown above

Many years later a New Jersey

railroad club bought the hulk

& did a magnifiecent restore

to replicate it's original

purpose as the observation

lounge end car on 1 of the

2 "Twentieth Century" sets

for the New York Central

The sister car "Sandy Creek"

after a few other projects

has been likewise restored

in Norfolk Southern livery

used by the corporate execs

for private events

Of the few differences on

the 2 "Creeks" only the

"Sandy" has a back door
