Summary

Description

Photo of a railroad pendulum car designed and built by Cortlandt Hill, who was the grandson of Great Northern Railway president James Hill. Two experimental coaches were built--pendulum cars eventually would up on the Burlington, Santa Fe and Great Northern, but not to the extent that coaches like the Vista Dome were.

None of the photos at the links are in the public domain, so this is apparently the only PD photo of one of the cars.
