The Author offers up a photo essay from 10 years of working on the rails traveling accross the United States working on these beautifuly restored Private Luxury Railcars. This is a showcase of the PV s for lease and charter. The cars are highlighted in stunning imagery with their history and floor plans. From Vista Dome cars to Business cars, Lounge cars, and Sleepers. What is Private Railroading? A handful of investors, passionate about vintage railcars and the nostalgia that comes along with it, have purchased some of the past's finest railcars. These beautiful private railcars are now known as Private Varnish. They have worked tirelessly to fully restore these gems of railroad engineering, making these cars aesthetically pleasing and even more comfortable than they originally were more than 50 years ago. More importantly, they have been upgraded mechanically to comply with Amtrak's passenger service so that they may again ride the rails. By doing so, they are part of an exclusive group of less than 100 cars nationwide afforded the privilege to hook behind Amtrak.
