Title:
L&N 3448
Description:
Louisville & Nashville car 3448
was on the
PAN AMERICAN-GULF WIND
at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal about six months before the beginning of Amtrak, when L&N passenger service into New Orleans would end. The car was one of nine 4-section / 4-roomette / 5-double-bedroom / 1-compartment sleepers built by Pullman-Standard in 1954 for service between the Midwest and Florida. Initially there were two each for the Atlantic Coast Line, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Florida East Cast and Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis, with one for the L&N; but the L&N eventually owned the C&EI and NC&StL cars too, and they briefly showed up in New Orleans-Jacksonville service around the time this photo was taken.
FLORIDA SURF
was originally NC&StL 251 and went into private ownership in 1971. It moved to Mexico in 1980 where it became Servicio de Coches Dormitorios y Conexos (SCD) 705
