The MOPAC Eagle Parlor-Observation car was built by American Car & Foundry as a lightweight aluminum body lounge. The car was part of the first Eagle passenger train and is one of two in the world. One of its claims to fame was its use by Harry S. Truman when he was Senator, Vice President and as retired President. Restoration began June of 2008 and is estimated to take two year. To help with the cost of restoration the museum and our chapter applied for and received a $ 3,800 grant from The National Railway Historical Society
