Former NW car 800 Alta Vista

[NW Mailing List]

While this car has gone through a few ownership changes, the former N&W car
800 "Alta Vista" is still recognizable in this recent photo on CN. Nice to
see it still functioning in its former role and maintained in good order.

I believe this was originally a UP car that NW bought and modified to a
theater seating inspection car. The NW styled boarding steps are one
giveaway on this car. Some side windows on the theater seating have been
combined and other minor changes done to the car while owned by Illinois
Central and then merged into CN.
