AFT1 Aux Tender also went with Reading T1 2101 to the Chessie Steam Special, and would likely have followed it to Conrail for their proposed steam program. The tender is from a New York Central engine and was repurposed into a MOW Diesel fuel tank. This model can represent NYC X26168 and PC X26168 as well.

The rest of the exhibit cars continued their lives onto the Canadian Discovery Train and most were later scrapped

Car 111 and car 200 later served for Union Pacific as cars 206 and 205 respectively, models with their modifications are also included. Car 111 survives today, painted in UP colors but renumbered RPRX111.
