Toot Toot! just like a big orange caterpillar. 👍
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about it looking like a caterpillar until now, but it sure does have that look.
DeleteCertainly an interesting looking car
ReplyDeleteI agree, they are definitley interesting cars. Also, very interesting from inside the cars. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Skytop_Lounge_(23741843893).jpg
DeleteNice! I got to see one of these, can't remember if it was the same one thinking it was even more streamlined, at Steamfest in Michigan in 2009. They were using it for the Daylight excursion. I like the Hiawatha cars.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelly. It was probably this car that was used on the excursion you saw. Per this article this is the only operational Skytop lounge car. There is one on static display now in Florida at a museum.
