The RPO is as represented, formerly owned by Jim Bistline (SR attorney and 
former head of the Southern Steam Program).  The Pullman is former Nickel 
Plate No.7.  Both cars are beautifully restored and worth the price of 
admission by themselves.

Those URHS cars are the former "North Jersey Coast Builder" coaches from NJT 
which were fixed up as an excursion set with TEA-21 funds.  There will be 
eight total, some of which are still in Hoboken.
