  The American Association of Private Railcar Owners will meet in Portland, Maine this fall for their annual convention.  The Association members will arrive in their own rail cars, most of the cars are vintage and some have interesting histories.
  There are 30 cars which will leave Chicago pulled by Amtrak locomotives at a cost of $30,000 each, it costs big money to travel with your own railcar.
  Among the cars is a 1911 made by the Pullman company, Presidents William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson traveled in that car while in office.
