I received word today that the LAKE TERRELL hasn't been given or sold to a scrapper - yet. Lakes Shore is trying to find a home for it before that becomes the only alternative.

Folks,
I have just heard that the Pullman sleeping car Palm Lane has arrived at the Illinois
Railway Museum. I believe it is a heavy wight car built in 1929. It was retired in 1956 to the Central New York Chapter, NRHS. It was displayed for many years at the New York State Fairgrounds.

Has it been mentioned in this series? What railroads did it travel on? Where did it go?

Ted Miles retired but still interested in trains

Looks like it "belonged" (assuming they actually made any lease payments) to IOU Pacific last: viewtopic.php?p=231856#p231856

Illinois Ry Museum has a page on its website about the arrival of the former PALM LANE at its museum site; included is a ownership history and future plans:
