I was talking with a friend about passenger service in and out of GCT by the NYNH&H back in the 1950's and 60"s when I rode many trips on many trains. I have not seen much about some of the unique cars the NH used to have including a bar car I recall at the platform in GCT which had 3 axle trucks being an old heavy weight car of considerable opulent nature. Does anyone know more about this car or is it a figment of my imagination? I loved those great big windows on the stainless steel cars and the great seats on the parlor cars but, I also remember riding some really old open platform cars when I commuted to Greenwich High School from Old Greenwich for 4 years in the 1950's, when the NH was scraping the barrel for equipment just before the really spiffy "washboard" stainless cars came on line....pure luxury except they seemed to sort of bounce.
