My vote goes for the MILW Skytops. They just look so great.
I am partial to the GN’s Mountain-series observation. I like the Milwaukee’s
Skytop as well, but for me, the Mountain has a better balanced appearance-
and I much prefer the GN’s Empire Builder colors. But, that’s me-and my
interests.
Inside, from the passenger, the Milwaukee Skytop.
But from the outside, 20th Century “Creek” series, Cal Zephyr and Canadian Budds (nearly identacle) and Budd Senator and Congressional PRR Obs and Denver Zephyr (similar to the PRR,not similar to the CZ).
I’m surprised that consideration was not given to any of the eastern railroads like New York Central, B&O or DL&W.
The Obs Car of the Phoebe Snow (DL&W) is my personal favorate.
CPs Park series win because they are the only classic streamline obs i’ve ridden in. Y’know, too they served Molson Export in the lounge, too![;)] I had a chance to see recently restored NYC 20th Century Limited Obs “Hickory Creek” and that was a really beautiful piece of work![8D][:p][bow][wow] (can’t afford to ride in it ,though)
