Great shot John and did you know that the rail car depicted is the "Georgia" which is the very car that President Truman did the first ever whistle stop tour and while in Saint Louis was photographed holding the newspaper that said "Dewey Defeats Truman" as the headline while standing right there on the rear of that car!

I stand corrected by another railpictures member this is not the car used by President Truman it was the mkt 403 that he used. This car was used by Presidents George H.W. Bush, and Clinton.

Excellent shot, John! :) I saw this car at Joliet Union Station, in Joliet, IL, earlier this year. Nice to see photos of it! :)
