I never realized Swede's "City Of Antonito" Hilton (I just made that up) was ever actually opened for business. Gary Getman told me he lived there for a while. The cars still used the original batteries for lights and fans. As they didn't, move the batteries were hooked up to a charger. He said you got about 3 hours of power each night before the power went out. He said the cars still had all thier original Pullman bedding.
