My employer owns a pullman car and is very interested in restoring it. It is on a siding in front of an old freight transfer building which has already been remodeled into a dinner/theater. We think it would be great to restore this pullman and use as additional space for dinner/drinks etc. All with the flavor of a pullman dining car. The car has N&W #521406 on it. Information I have so far is that it was a MoW conversion possibly used by the N&W foreman for eating and sleeping. It will take some work but we feel if we can get some pictures/drawings of how the car looked when it was in service that would be the place to start. Anyone who might be able help would be very appreciated. We just need someone to help get the project started. Thanks a bunch. M.T. Carpenter 336-886-1148. (collect o.k.0
