 The front page of THE WASHINGTON POST for 9/2/2011 carried a story about people who own and use private rail cars.  For a video go to www.washingtonpost.com/video and for photos go to www.washingtonpost.com/local.  The story focused on a 1923 Pullman car named Kitchi Gammi Club owned by Chuck Jensen of PA.  He estimates he has "sunk about $450,000 into refurbishing the car. . . and he depends on renting out his car for charter trips to cover the $10,000 in annual storage, insurance and maintenance costs."
