Marlboro Unlimited Train The shell to be used for this car was former SOO 624 built in 1948 by the CM&SP Railway. On the Rader property in December 1994. To have had 5 (initially 6) seven-person hot tubs and 2 massage rooms known as The Spa, with a 12 foot ceiling, and a large open-air observation deck at the tail. When it was proposed that the train be shortened from 21 cars to 16, this car was to be reconfigured from a Spa Car to an Entertainment Car, removing the hot tubs and substituting a sauna and video simulator room. As the design for the car matured, it went from a 'low level' standard height car to one a bit taller -- about the same height as the power car at the other end of the train. Designated 'Contract Car 20' by the builder, Rader Railcar. By 2007, only five partially contructed cars survived -- as demonstrators for the builder. This included the power car, two sleepers, a lounge, and the spa car. The sleepers and lounge had substantially completed interiors. Interior image: Daniel Quiat 2009 |

The Spa was featured on a promotional matchbook cover. This would have been Car 21 on the 21-car version of the train. |
