I shot an entire video from this car in 2014. Nearly all the scenes are shot from the front, or rear platform. There is one at each end which is nice, but they store a lot of the supplies there for the patrons. The seats were comfy, and my wife and I sat in the single row cause there were not 2 side-by-side available. They gave you some goodies to take home, and you got some snacks and drinks during the day. I did walk up to the concession car with the brakeman just to see it. Didn't shoot video there. The car we were in has heat also, and the attendant had it on as we left Durango. The car is usually on the 8 am train, which is what we rode. It was quite comfy. I only shot video of about 1/3 of the return trip, at places I thought would be interesting, and then enjoyed the ride the rest of the time. The video in the clip is generally Durango to Silverton segment. Note how good you can hear the train from back there. It was about September 12th I believe. We mention the car in the preview and show a couple views inside and through the glass.
