This diorama photo of early 1950's railfan-photographers was taken from the actual location right next to the NYC's real tracks using a special lens.

The most unique car in the yard is VIA 1720, a single-level Colorado Railcar built glass-roofed coach, dubbed "Panorama" by VIA. Three cars (1720, 1721 and 1722) are used by VIA on the Canadian and the Skeena in the summer months to provide breathtaking views through the mountains. The cars are sometimes taken to Toronto or Montreal for winter storage and maintenance. We're nearing the summer season, so it's time for 1720 to get sent back out to make its journey west again! Here we see it on the move in the yard:
I built that car on a Rapido coach frame using the window section of a Bachmann ultradome with scratchbuilt sides, roof, and many other parts.

The Colorado Eagle uses a Life-Like E-8 and Con-Cor cars.
The Mountaineer uses a Life-Like PA-1 and Lima cars custom painted by Bev-Bel.
