TCRX 7602

This car began life in 1954 at the Budd Company in Philadelphia, PA, as Pennsylvania Railroad 1579. Seating seventy six passengers, 1579 served on the PRR’s Northeast Corridor between New York City and Washington DC, on electrified named trains like the Congressional and the Senator. The car’s ownership passed seamlessly into the Penn Central merger, and later the Amtrak nationalization, who would incorporate the renumbered 7410 (later 7602) into their Heritage Fleet, being rebuilt with Head End Power (HEP) in 1981. This car served mostly in the Northeastern US; notably on the Adirondack between New York and Montreal when it was named Albany. Eventually made redundant by newer equipment, 7602 was purchased by two museum members in 2003, and has served dutifully on our excursion trains since.

This car is available for First Class Seating!
