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.
