Leland Stanford's business car

From: "Richard Gagnon" richg_1998@yahoo.com

I have just purchased a HO brass CP Huntington locomotive and I would like to build a model of the business car used by Leland Stanford. Is there a photo of the car?

Check out this old lithograph ...

Please check out this old litho that my father has owned for over 30 years. It was given to him by an old porter for the L&N Railroad in Louisville, KY, where my father and grandfather both had worked. It appears to me that this is not an L&N train. It bears a striking resemblance to a Central Pacific train. Upon close inspection it appears as though an L&N sticker has been placed over something else at the bottom of the print. ...

I am absolutely intrigued by this old dude and would love to know any info pertaining to it's history.
