Meteor Rail owns the 1948 Pullman sleeping car CIMARRON RIVER and operates railroad excursions with it.   In 2015, the car had its 10year inspection, which involves jacking up the car and rolling out the trucks.  An intensive inspection is then performed of the trucks and undercarriage.   Repairs, which turned out to be not too extensive, were performed.  Some of the wheels and bearings were replaced and the air brakes were serviced.   This work was accomplished at Gateway Rail in Madison, Illinois.

The car had several charter trips in 2015, including trips to Seattle and Washington DC.  On special charter for High Iron Travel saw the car return to its old route on the Frisco Railroad, between Memphis and Kansas City.

For 2016, several charters are planned, including trips in the west and east to Washington DC.   If you are interested in traveling on these charters, please contact the sponsoring organizations:
St Louis Chapter, National Railroad Historical Society
High Iron Travel (a division of Iowa Pacific Corporation)
