Really, Georg? You come here for a visit and randomly capture THIS? You're the Train Whisperer! :-)

Are those rebuilt ex-Metra bilevel-galleries in the consist?

This is all really neat - honestly, it is! But wouldn't that look amazing with an A-B-B-B-A set of 'Bonnets on the point?

First, second, fourth and fifth car are former Southern Pacific bi-level gallery commuter cars from the mid 1950', which ran between San Francisco and San Jose till 1985. They were later (about 1990) rebuilt for Transcisco Tours for the "Sierra 49er" train from San Jose to Reno NV. This is what I found in the Internet, hope it is more or less correct.

'At a boy, Georg. Very good!

Georg, you are correct - those are former SP gallery cars from the San Francisco Bay Area commutes. A bit ugly on the outside, but very nice on the inside!
