The Roamer
The Roamer was built in 1918 by the American Car and Foundry for Mr. Cosden who was
an oil magnet from Tulsa, Oklahoma. This railcar was used as his private car. He had
many friends and poker playing pals who often rode with him, including the legendary
Broadway producer Ziegfeld, car manufacturer Studebaker and American oil magnate,
Harry Sinclair. King Edward VIII of England also used this car while visiting the Cosden’s, as did President Dwight Eisenhower in 1964.
The San Marino
This Heavyweight 1916 Pullman rail car was built as the private car for Henry Edwards
Huntington (nephew of Collin P Huntington, one of the founders of Central/Southern
Pacific Railways). Henry Huntington built the famous Pacific Electric Railway in Southern
California. Many towns, beaches, parks, and a famous library were named after him.
Succeeding Henry Huntington’s death, the car was sold to Southern Pacific Railway and
renamed after their beautiful hotel on the Monterey Peninsula called Del Monte. In
1985 it reclaimed its original San Marino name. Today, The San Marino is compatible
with Amtrak speed requirements.
