William Penn Railcar Leasing, LLC is a business which operates the fully-restored 1951 William Penn rail coach as a meeting and dining venue. A second car, the Kayenta, serves as a passenger coach with restroom facilities. Catering service is provided by Five Star Events Catering.

The business is one of several enterprises launched by George and Marcy Williams. They created the business along with five other investors. The Williamses purchased the cars from Amtrak and restored them themselves. They serve as conductor and hostess during 2-hour dinner trips from the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum. Another of their companies, Chooch & Warbucks, is involved in acquiring additional restored cars, including the No. 5206' coach used on the former Southern Railroad.
