   The information about the Piedmont did not mention the Delaware Car Co., or   
   least I do not remember seeing that.  They had the model # for the engine,   
   but I did not write that down.  .  However, it was obvious that the cars had   
   been rebuilt and looked "new" inside.  In fact, quite impressive.  The snack   
   bar, however, was coin machines and so forth, but there was a nice place to   
   eat in the car.  So we had to walk the entire length of the train and all   
   the equipment was clean and very nice indeed.  By contrast, the old commuter   
   cars (Chicago and Northwestern) that were running to give the public a very   
   short ride down a side track were real old-fashioned cars commuters used to   
   call "cattle cars."  Too late to ask the question for you.  I was wondering   
   what equipment they were running in place of the rebuilt train!!
