A Rare PV Sighting. Amtrak 49 (Lake Shore Limited) had the Private Car "Blue Ridge Club" behind the power from New York Penn Station to Albany-Rensselaer, New York, on the afternoon of Sunday, August 17, 2025, seen here on the shores of the Hudson River in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Private cars, normally common on the Hudson Line, have become an unusual addition during the construction in the East River Tunnels. The car is behind the power as the train does not loop in Sunnyside during these restrictions, and will instead wye at ALB, making it rearmost on the consist for the rest of the trip to Chicago.

From AAPRCO: "The Blue Ridge Club was built by Pullman-Standard in 1950.....for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway’s George Washington Blue Ridge Club.....The car went into private ownership and was modified to its present configuration of 3 Double Bedrooms and 1 Master Suite with Kitchen, Dining and Observation Lounge (Blunt End)....large 28-seat dining/lounge observation lounge.....Blue Ridge Club has accommodation for 8 overnight guests in 3 Double Bedrooms (with upper and lower berths) and 1 master suite with a full-size lower berth."
