Hello, Ed! Right you are. The NYC was a class act. I had the privilege of riding the "Twentieth Century" in 1963. Of course, that was in the time when coaches were added. I could afford to travel from Chicago to New York because I could afford a Slumbercoach room. I think that the NYC was still using the original BUDD Slumbercoaches still then. I snuck back to the observation lounge. The conductor came in and announced that all "coach" passengers had to leave. Well, I stayed, said nothing, and enjoyed the Indiana scenery. The porter was a classy guy who assisted me with getting my suitcase into the small room. It was a ride to remember and not replicable today other than in the memory.
