https://omnitrax.com/omnitrax-launches- ... l-service/ Quote: OmniTRAX, the fastest growing privately held rail and infrastructure operators in North America, has completed the comprehensive restoration of a rarely seen class PV-79-E business car. Originally built in 1959, the transformed National Steel Car has been christened Savannah Sunrise. Following a meticulous years-long restoration process to return the parlor car to Amtrak rail ready service, the Savannah Sunrise took its maiden voyage to Washington, D.C. for Railroad Day on the Hill. The rail industry’s largest annual engagement with members of Congress, Railroad Day attracts hundreds of rail operators, stakeholders, and partners to collaborate on the legislation and public policy that shapes domestic rail investment, innovation, and safety.
