I like it. I bet my grandpa would have liked it too. He "rode the rails" a lot, and that wagon looks like it'd be a lot more comfortable than a freight car.
Here's another - pretty sure it's NOT the same car. I've seen a 3rd photo, but I can't find it on the internet... This one is unique from the first one posted in that it has no roof rack, no air deflector by the rear glass, and has door edge guards, a CB antenna, different plates, roof spotlight, factory full wheel covers for 14" wheels and a different pair of rear view mirrors.
I would swear that the one in the first post has the "shorty" roof rack mounted towards the front, when any other "shorties" I've ever seen are mounted at the rear of the car. Odd.
I thought an owner of a rail company had one for his personal inspection car. We discussed it a year or two ago. That image was reversed from these two, the car was pointing to the left, close to an intersection.
It is quite fitting for those of you that have read about Walter P.'s life. The man made his early bones working in the railroad industry. He designed his own set of tools as well prior to making his way into the auto industry. A truly fascinating life and an American story if there ever was one.
One of my neighbors from about 10-15 years ago was an accident inspector for BNSNF railroad. At one point I believe he had a Durango equipped like that. Would have to jump on the tracks to get to the sites. First wagon I have ever seen though.
