How did this not make it into our Illustrated History Of Checker Motors? Because TTAC commenter whynotaztec didn’t send it in soon enough. Better late than never, though.

Don't you think that it would be the Grand Trunk RR, since they ran through Kalamazoo? Nice High Railer though. Not quite a wye though, by the wye.
It's the Maine Central, and I'm sure someone on railroad.net could come up with the history of the car.
Lionel made an "Executive Inspection Car" that looked something like this (well, actually based on a Desoto). We had a nice train set when I was a kid and my brother had one of these cars. It wasn't pristine, because we played with it and trains crash, but it lasted till we had families of our own, and then my niece dropped it and cracked the body shell. http://www.trainxchange.com/images/Posted%20to%20Web/68ExecutiveInspectionCar.JPG
Thanks for that video John.fitz. If I'm not mistaken, those gents are on the road to Paradise.
