Description:  Stored in New Orleans. The Picuris was one of the oldest cars Amtrak received from the railroads. A dormitory bar lounge built in 1931Õey Budd for the Santa Fe. It was used on the first lightweight consist of the Chief. I can't read the number of the next car but it looks like an ex-Santa Fe dormotory lounge ?
