Former Santa Fe Hi-Level Lounge at LAUPT 11-8-17 4
I recently read that Amtrak has retired the former Santa Fe Hi-Level "Pacific Parlor Cars" which were still in use on the Coast Starlight. The train arriving today was their last use.
Here's a pair of photos of one of them arriving in Los Angeles back in November, taken while I was waiting for my train to Orange County. I rode the Pacific Parlor Cars on the Starlight some years ago; they were built by Pullman for the Santa Fe as high level lounge cars. As seen in the photo, they had a similar, but not identical, profile to the Superliners and were thus easy to spot.
