New Haven Railroad observation-lounge car, Bunker Hill, is seen in a working passenger yard storage area in New Haven, Connecticut, November 01, 1968, R Allen Pommer Photo. This photo is sort of sad because it was taken only two months prior to the New Haven Railroad being absorbed into the PC. Not many years after this observation-lounge car went into service, a diaphragm was added to the observation end to make the car usable in mid-train operation. Information regarding the yard's location as being New Haven was provided on the original slide, however, I did not recognize the location as New Haven, and perhaps someone else can verify the location. However, I did view another similar photo and it also said New Haven, so it probably is.
