ROYAL PALACE is the lightweight bedroom lounge observation car owned by M&E.

a Louisville and Nashville LW observation bringing up the markers. L&N 364 OHIO RIVER is a heavyweight (not a lightweight) business car ... a 1926 product of Pullman. However, by coincidence, M&E also owns one of the ROYAL series lightweight bedroom lounge observation cars ... one that has ...

MODERATOR'S NOTE Now, if only there was a photo available of the Alco PA's that headed up The Adirondack during that same era...THAT would have "ample face time" at this thread as well. GBN Although it is not the best photo, it is better than no photo: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?ph...

D&H 42 "ADIRONDACK LODGE" ... a great place to have lunch southbound along Lake Champlain between 1975 and 1977.
