This passenger car design was rather unique - each of two streamlined Reading "Crusader" 4-6-2 locomotives had a specially created tender that wrapped around the observation car directly behind it. By positioning the two round end observation cars on each end of the 5 car passenger train, the railroad removed the necessity to turn the train around at terminals. An in service photo can be seen here with the Crusader locomotive. Another, from the rear can be seen here, albeit, in the later years, pulled by an FP7 diesel. Canadian National acquired the trainset from Reading in 1962, a photo of the set, slightly modified, can be seen here in this photo. Both observation cars survive today - No. 1 at the RRMofPA and the other, which had been in service as part of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train located in Washington State until 2007, became part of the passenger car fleet of the Iowa Pacific Holdings.
