Every locomotive needs a train.
The passenger cars that make up the Hill Country Flyer are a very eclectic mix. They reflect passenger railroading of various types, from different eras and from widely separated parts of the country. Our first acquisition after the 786 itself was a set of seven Pennsylvania Railroad P70FBR commuter coaches. Of the seven, one had already been transformed into a concession car, and one was so badly damaged that it has not yet seen any service. After the coaches, three sleeper lounge cars came available for lease.
