The Warren R. Henry Lounge Car (2014-05-10 11-23-55a)
The car was originally built in 1955 for the Union Pacific’s “Portland Rose” line which ran between Chicago and Portland, Oregon. In the mid-1980s it was acquired by the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad and refurbished for use as a business car. In 2004 the car was purchased by Patrick Henry, a Houston businessman who named it after his father, who was an executive with the Santa Fe Railroad. The dining room seats 12. A full bar seats another 8 and the dome seats 16.
The photo was taken at Union Station in Chicago, Illinois where it was on display for the National Train Day 2014.
I used a Nikon Coolpix P7700 camera to take the photo. Then I edited it in Luminar 2018 with the following filters: Accent, Sharpening, Microstructure, Stucture and Denoise. Then I decreased the exposure 1 ev and boosted highlights, shadows and clarity.

Amazing find Gary. I would love to see it and go inside as well.
The Luminar is amazing.
The photo was taken at National Train Day. Unfortunately, Amtrak stopped holding these so I don’t know when it will be on display again.
Glad you got the photo when you did.
Could you go inside? I wonder what it looks like.. Love this shot and info Gary. Love your HDR looking effects.
Thanks, Kim. Yes, you could go inside. It was very luxurious. Unfortunately, none of the photos I took of the inside were usable.
Awesome, well this photo worked I want to go!!
You just gave me an idea, I did go check out some old trains.. A post for the future, grins.
