Pullmans on the East Coast.

Post by 1H was 2E »

I recall that there was a question raised about the identities of the Pullmans in use on specific trains in, I think, the early 50's; but I can't find the thread.
I have found a record of the formation (by car name/number) of each service on one particular day in 1954, and if there is interest I will post it.
