Fox River Rail Car Corporation
Pointe St. Charles
Premium Business Car


Completed by the Canadian National in 1954, this business car was later placed on permanant loan to the Canadian Government for the exclusive use of the nation's Prime Minister. Purchased in 1990 by R.R.E., Inc., and moved to California, it was named Pointe St. Charles for the CN shop where it was built. Acquired by Fox River Rail in the fall of 2002, it is Amtrak- and VIA-certified and fully self-contained. Pointe St. Charles is based in both Green Bay and Milwaukee.

This premium private car offers overnight accommodations for eight passengers and crew of two, in private bedrooms. The rear of the car has a very comfortable observation room and open rear platform. There is a large, formal dining room which is served from an all-stainless steel kitchen, fully fitted and equipped to provide all levels of food and beverage service. Pointe St. Charles is completely self-contained and certified to operate anywhere on Amtrak and VIA Rail national passenger routes, and freight rail systems throughout all of North America.

Communications and entertainment equipment includes CD player, television/VCR, moving-map GPS, cell phone, and computer internet access.
