Remanufacturing Continues...

[Firebert]

It looks like the folks at Beech Grove have been busy. I saw sleeping car #32052 on the Southwest Chief on Friday night and it had the new blue and white interior. According to On Track On Line the 32055 has also been released recently, bringing the total of remanufactured cars to 4. In the national timetable Dave Gunn says that they'll roll out twenty of these puppies this year. Four down and sixteen to go, and it's only January! I really should go down to the coaches to look for Coach/Smoking cars that have been converted back to coach/baggage cars. Has anyone seen any updates on those cars?

I don't know about 32052. The remanufactured cars don't have a blue and white interior. They have a fake-wood panel interior.

I believe there are 7 or 8 cars that have been remanufactured:

32012, 32016, 32037 (?), 32040 (?), 32055, 32060, 32067, 32068. Not sure about a couple of those.
