Thanks for sharing. This photo brings back a lot of memories. I rode the Capitol Limited between Pittsburgh and DC quite a bit going back and forth to college between 1990 and 1992. This prototype car was in our consist several times. I remember a dining car attendant screaming at the youths who hit us with rocks near Rockville. "How would you like it if I threw rocks at your new car?" he yelled while shaking his fist at the window. I found the Viewliner Diner to be very comfortable and efficient which surprised me that Amtrak never ordered any.
