Private cars (also referred to as former business cars) may be older “heavyweight” cars with six axles and an open platform at the back or newer and lighter models with four axles and no platform, each being able to operate alone as a self sufficient car.
Cars have a lounge and two or three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. They accommodate four or six passengers. Some business cars with two bedrooms share an adjoining shower.
In the past and currently for limited number of private owners, exquisite luxurious business cars were and are enjoyed by fortunate individuals, freight railroads and corporations able to afford this elite form of transportation.
Most business car travel was replaced by a growing national highway system and commercial or private jet aircraft. Cars were laid up and as time passed many no longer complied with new and revised mechanical requirements.
Remodeled business cars may retain their original vintage characteristics but with up to date facilities and equipment. Others are more recently remodeled.
Private cars can travel alone or with other cars.
Although some cars may have an outside platform, passengers can’t go outside while trains are moving due to present safety regulations.
