I just picked up a K-Line Observation car that is supposed to the convention car for the TCA 2000 National. Its painted olive green that resembles Canadian National but without a road name. TCA has revamped their website and the link to previous conventions returns a 404 error, page doesn’t exist.
Anyone remember where the TCA 2000 convention was held?

Thank you. So maybe the paint scheme was to reflect the Grand Trunk?

The car is the Fairlane, right?
If so, it was modeled after Henry Ford's private rail car that at one time was owned by Dick Kughn. Hence the lack of a road name. The car is now in the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn.
