Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe #1534 - 1917 Lounge/Crew Dormitory
"Railroads often adapted older passenger equipment for new uses. Some cars went through three or four configurations during their service lives.
In the pre-streamlined era, the Santa Fe operated a fleet of famous Chicago-California trains, such as the "Chief," the "Scout," and the "De-Luxe." Six older heavyweight standard passenger coaches were rebuilt in the railroad's own shops, each with a lounge area at one end and open sections at the other. During the day, the section's seats were open to passengers enjoying a drink or snack from the lounge; at night, the berths were used by crewmen, who typically worked the entire trip between the Midwest to the West Coast.
ATSF 1534 was retired in 1960, and initially went to a Missouri museum. That museum donated the car to IRM in 1969. The car occasionally operates, but is still under restoration. It is the only surviving car of this type.

Taken from a crop of the previous larger frame, this image is just the minimal view of the rails used by the "Light Rail" system in downtown Phoenix. The routes share major city streets. This image was taken in early morning, but the tall buildings cast strong shadows. I don't know the composition of the filler for the roadway between the rails but it must be smooth and sturdy enough to bear the load of cars and trucks. View large to see some of the subtle detail in this color image: it's not a monochrome view.
In Healdsburg, CA., not much of the NorthWestern Pacific Railroad remains. Seen here, the rails in the Healdsburg yard are all but torn up, the depot and freight house remain, but for how long who knows...

The dashboard shows off many of the changes to the system the best. The highlights include:
- No more spaces listed as the top tab.
- We removed that because we either have people assigned to one site or a gazillion sites. You can now use the 'Choose Site' to navigate to other sites a user has access to.
- It's now called 'Files' rather then 'Resources'
- Users and settings, lesser used features, are pushed to the far right No more avatar
On the dashboard itself there are some changes:
The 'Activity Log' which shows activity from across all the admin side of your site If you have a blog you can quickly get to it.
