Public Belt had City of Peru for parts, but I have not confirmed that they still do.  City of Danville is in Virginia with an open rear platform again.

But these were rebuilt with vestibules on both ends I suspect as a convenience for Wabash who used them as 2nd parlor cars with the observation cars, the City of Danville having had its rear vestibule cut open once again.  The City of Peru was going to be rebuilt into some sort of sleeping car, as was the plans before the management shake up, but this idea apparently has been scrapped...

WAB City of Peru
WAB City of Peru
WAB City of Danville

Didn't know that the City of Decatur was at Monticello... good to know!!!  Still would love to see these done in N though I would suspect that etched sides, much like what Scott Lupia did with his EL #2 business car, would be a more likely form that we would see with this car, if at all... definitely beautiful cars!!!
