A number of years ago, I had the pleasure of dining at Dante's Down The Hatch in Atlanta. The owner was was railroad enthusiast, Dante Stephenson. He lived in his private railcar, The Wanderer. It was located on a lot adjacent to the the Norfolk Southern mainline. Finding out I was a train enthusiast, Mr. Stephenson regaled me with many stories of his train car. It was originally the private car of E. F. Hutton. His daughter, Barbara, and Cary Grant quite frequently traveled on it. Stephenson was about to depart on a train trip of the Northeast. It was a private trip of private car owners and would be "one gigantic house party." All of his traveling was done via train. Norfolk Southern would pick up his car and attach it to the Crescent. He joked that he never packed for a trip. He carried his home with him! After his death, the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer acquired the car and have or are restoring it. Fascinating man and fascinating stories. This is one of your best videos. Like me, you have the awe of a child when around trains. Keep the camera rolling.
