This may be wrong but I lived in Kansas City when the Republicans had convention to re-nominate Ford at the Kemper Auditorium, just west of the then Frisco yards. Kemper is surrounded by tracks unless I was drunk that night and the Railroad Executive trains were well represented. I believe I saw a train made up of Frisco cars that night. Would this car have been one of them? I do not recall the make up of train, how many cars, nor locomotives This is also a point for rail watchers if you have a Presidential Convention in your city these Executive trains will be there in force well waxed and maintained representing the remaining power of the Railroad Industry, Thanks for question, Rick|-|
The "named" business cars by 1976 had been renumbered. The Frisco only had three business cars left then:#1 (Former "Missouri"), #2 (Former "Saint Louis," in the pictures) and #3 (The ex "Springfield"). Tom
Would that have been perhaps their last big get together or did they get one more convention? Ricky|-|
