Ever wonder where Amtrak’s ex-Santa Fe “Hi Level” cars are? Some are in Chicago, owned by Corridor Capital for possible use on their new contract to operate the Hoosier State. The cars above are on a privately owned track across the street from the main entrance to the Texas State Fairgrounds at Fair Park, near Dallas. They can be seen from the DART Green Line.
