Folks,
Since we were posting up some Railway pictures earlier. Here's another one for the pot.
A bit of background info in bygone days the senior officers of the company used to travel on business trips using a business car courtesy of the railroad.
Even though that's no longer the case quite a few of these cars were maintained in their orginal state and still used today for customer entertaining. Since I was involved in marketing I had the good fortune of enjoying gourmet meals with our better customers. Cocktails, 5 course meals with wine, digestifs the whole 9 yards...lol.
That said try doing that for lunch and supper for 2 days back to back...to be fair I was a bit younger then and could handle it.
Here's an exterior shot of one of those cars. They're 89' long with a private kitchen and dining room as well as washrooms, bedrooms, etc....all maintained by a personal chef. Talk about travelling first class.
Regards + HH

Now THAT is a business car. Just gorgeous. Most of the time when officers, executives, etc. of Norfolk Southern (which is the line where I am) want to travel or impress clients and whatnot, this is how they usually do it. It's called the OCS; Office Car Special and it's always amazing to see.

ncsilverspider,
It's to bad I didn't find some pictures of the interior. Done in exotic hardwood panelling, the dinning room service including real silver ware not plated stuff and crystal glasses with a beautiful hardwood dinning table and matching chairs.
I remember a business trip I took and met up with my counterparts at the NS in Roanoke, Va a real bunch of Southern gentlemen.

Folks,
Just a little Olympic tidbit a Canadian band The Arkells found out that the Canucks were using one of their songs for celebrating their victories so now they are flying over to South Korea to perform it live for the crew. And Air Canada is picking up their transporation costs. Nice to hear a positive story for a change.
Here's the video of the song.
