CSS&SB Pullman-built 14 at Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in February 1982, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 14 was built by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1926. It was rebuilt in 1942 along with number 15, the beginning of a rebuilding program that encompassed 33 cars (I believe). The rebuilding process added 17 feet to the middle of what was a 60 foot car. Some of the later rebuilt cars also received air-conditioning and sealed picture windows.

Have I mentioned before how, when CSS had a flight problem and could not make it to Lolla 2007, I sat in the dusty ground and cried?

CSS&SB 20 HIRAM at Randolph Street in Chicago, Illinois on May 23, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from www.ozarkmountainrailcar.com:
Built in 1923 as a 10 section/observation lounge by Pullman and named Mt. Desert, it operated in general pool service until sold to the New York Central Railroad. After extensive rebuilding the car emerged from the NYC shops as business car 20. Rebuilt by the NYC and modernized in the 1940's, the 1940's rebuild included the installation of new smooth side sheets and streamlined roof. Retired by the railroad in the 1960's and sold into private ownership.
