SLRG #9180 COUNTRY CLUB |
| Description: |
Built in 1929 by Pullman in Lot #6274 to Plan #3989A as 8S sleeper-buffet solarium lounge observation COUNTRY CLUB, 1 of 15 such cars built in that Lot. 10 of the 15 cars (including the COUNTRY CLUB) were built for the PRR, 3 cars were built for the Erie, and 2 cars were built for the Rock Island. In May 1940, the COUNTRY CLUB was renamed to ANTHRACITE CLUB. In December 1941 and January 1942, 6 of the PRR cars were changed to Plan #3989U, including the ANTHRACITE CLUB. At the 12/31/1948 Pullman divestiture, PRR acquired their 10 cars from this Lot (as #8620-#8629), the 3 cars built for the Erie were acquired by the B&O, and the 2 cars built for the CRI&P were acquired by the SP&S. In 1957-1958, PRR withdrew these 10 cars from revenue service, and 9 of the 10 were subsequently converted to MofW bunk cars; the ANTHRACITE CLUB as #492383. The car was later sold to private ownership as PAPX #492383, and was listed for sale on Ozark Mountain Railcar in circa 2009. It was subsequently acquired by Iowa Pacific as the COUNTRY CLUB. Besides the COUNTRY CLUB, there are 3 other PRR cars from this Lot which are known to be extant: #8629 UNIVERSITY CLUB is also owned by Iowa Pacific as SLRG #9170, #8627 TRAFFIC CLUB was formerly owned by George Hart and is currently stored in Jim Thorpe, PA, and #8628 UNION LEAGUE CLUB is owned by the Horseshoe Curve Chapter NRHS and located at the Railroader's Memorial Museum in Altoona. EXIF: 2:51 PM, f/3.7 @ 1/800, ISO-100 |

PAPX 800224 |
| Description: |
The Blue Ridge Club, a Chesapeake & Ohio sleeper-lounge built by Pullman-Standard in 1950 for the George Washington. It passed into Amtrak use, frequently being utilized on the obscure and somewhat short-lived Mountaineer, before being sold into private ownership. It eventually ended up on Pullman Rail Journeys, a company owned by Ed Ellis under his, you guessed it, Iowa Pacific Holdings umbrella, hence the Illinois Central paint. Its passed on to new owners since the IPH bankruptcy and is now configured with 3 double bedrooms, and 1 master suite with Kitchen, Dining and Observation Lounge. |
