The MUs were my favorite...at speed, they gave as thrilling a ride as you

Yup, mine too! I remember my father taking me on them on various occasions in 
1983 and 84 right up to when they were retired...The sights, sounds, and 
smells are still etched in my mind to this day! I remember watching the rush hour 
at Maplewood and seeing the diamond shape window on the parlor car speeding 
past me at 60 mph...I guess that was train #429 up to the end?? 
Each car on the interior had its own unique color scheme with 5 different 
kinds of seats including wicker!. I miss them!
