That is a Baggage-Dormitory (crew) car, made by Budd, of the 60's vintage on the Twentieth Century Limited. Was that near Metairie?

Yes, Philip found the photo of the car. Sonny, the car's just between Jeff Hwy and Airline. It's on a back road that leads to Ochsner. I had the numbers mixed up, and it's more than 4 windows. Observant for a photographer I am huh? So here you go rivet counters: http://www.zoeicaimages.com/html/newyorkcentraltrain.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Williams" Subject: [Leica] OT: Need info on New York Central traincar I think there are some train experts on this list...... I photographed an old New York Central train car the other day in New Orleans. It's sitting on a lot with some other old train pieces. Car # is 8795 and says "New York Central" in big letters on the side. There's only 4 windows so it may be a sleeping or dining car? Guess this train used to come to New Orleans via NY? I'll post some images tomorrow. Thanks in advance, Chris _______________________________________________ Le _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
