This heavyweight
business car with balloon roof is maroon with buff lettering and runs on 6-wheel
passenger trucks. Built in 1917 by Pullman as N&W 300, this car continued
to serve in its as-built layout until 1955 when it was modernized. When transferred
through the Norfolk Southern merger, this car was renumbered to NS 5 for a brief
period and then sold to a private party in the late 1980s. |
