This car carries the escort crew. I had a tour once when it was stopped in Floridale siding, and there were two folks from Morton Thiokol, one from NASA, and two from the Utah NRHS group. They watch over the loads, and this is their "home away from home" until they deliver the motors to the Cape.

This car's Amtrak number is 800329, not 800022. Nice shot!!!
