Life comes full circle! This was posted on Railpictures.net today. Here is the link (some times these don't work). I included the photo and text from the photographer.

The CSX OCS, running as P001, slows down to the crew change point on the old main at Wauhatchie. While the two GEVO's were a bit of a bummer, the main draw for me was the debut of the newest addition to the OCS fleet, the Moonlight Dome. This car was built by Budd in 1946 for the C&O for what was going to be "The Chessie" streamliner train. After that project dissolved, the car was sold to the B&O & over the course of time, ended up in private ownership before being sold to CSX in late 2020. Fun fact: with the Addition of this car, this now means that every Class 1 that runs in the USA nows has at least one dome car in their OCS fleet.
