The top photo is the one that’s reversed in the 1961 Beebe book “Twentieth Century Limited”. The lower photo doesn’t show much of a hint about whether the platform had been rebuilt into a solarium or simply closed off.
gmpullman-- Bravo, great find, terrific pics.
I agree. Although, as shown, it certainly qualifies as an open-end observation car.
Thank you. Glad they were of interest.
