What passenger equipment from the 'glory days' of the Panama, CNO, etc. still exist? Any in operable condition?

I know of one I.C. car that's actually for sale. at www.iltransit.com they have the "Baton Rouge" an 11 double bedroom sleeper. I'm not sure what trains at was assinged to but, hopefully it'll get the ball rolling. Also, I think that one railroad museum in Illinois is trying to but together a I.C. Passenger train...If I recall they had a car named "Council Bluffs"..maybe..maybe not..might have been a 10-6.

I notice from the list you posted, that quite a few cars went to the 18th Amendment Lounge, Shorewood, Il. Do they still reside there?
