American Freedom Train Car #PNWC76 - "The Seventy-six"

When the Daylight locomotive joined the AFT outside of Chicago, it had come from Portland with its own tool car -- the PNWC76, on loan from the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Railway Historical Society.

Subsequently, the PNWC76 became the maintenance/tool car for all three of the steam locomotives that pulled the AFT.
