The Acoma railcar and the tale of preserving a legend
The Acoma, one of the first eight stainless steel cars from the 1937 Super Chief, survived decades of retirement and now operates in private hands based in Los Angeles. Bond and Ashcraft restored it with Monad Railway Equipment Co. and envision future runs, including hopes to haul with ATSF 2926.
