RE: Iowa Pacific-San Luis & Rio Grande (SLRG) Passenger Cars viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36455 "Pullman 10S-1DR-2C sleeper Lake Terrell (Lot #4770, Plan #3585L, 1924) sold in 1967 to Ruben Darby-Darby Wood Products. Acquired from Lake Shore RHS as SLRG #9173." NO! Lake Shore Railway Historical Society owns Lake Terrell. ============================== "Pullman 6S-6DB sleeper Poplar Summit (Plan #4084A), originally 12S-1DR sleeper McClung (Lot #4845, Plan #3410, 1925), converted in 1939. Sold in 1967 to Ruben Darby-Darby Wood Products. Acquired from Lake Shore RHS as SLRG #9166." Correct, IPH purchased "Poplar Summit" nee"McClung" from LSRHS. Car was removed in 2011 and taken to South Carolina for rebuilding/reconstruction. Status unknown at this point. ============================== "Pullman 3C-2DR sleeper lounge observation Central Park (Lot #4886, Plan #3959E, 1925) sold in 1955 to Chattahoochee Valley RR. Acquired from Lake Shore RHS as SLRG #9174." NO! Lake Shore Railway Historical Society owns Central Park. ============================== "Pullman 14SBD sleeper Nightstar (Lot #6056, Plan #3980C, 1927) sold in 1964 to Midwest Steel. Acquired from Lake Shore RHS as SLRG #9175." NO! Lake Shore Railway Historical Society owns Nightstar. ============================== Lake Shore Railway Historical Society has no plans to sell these three cars. Iowa Pacific has entered into an agreement with LSRHS to LEASE Lake Terrell, Nightstar, and Central Park. The three cars are still at the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, PA. When these three cars re-enter service they will NOT carry any Iowa Pacific reporting marks, rather they will carry the LSRHS' reporting marks (ENEX). THANKS! [rayg] Ray Grabowski, Jr. President, LSRHS |
