In some books I have seen reference to that car being at the Museum. The present day roster makes no mention of it. What is the story? |

Seems she is the "Sam Pinsley" on the Florida Central. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23711298@N07/3042359970 I think Genesee River was/is the car at the B&O museum. Rob |

Regarding the 3 prewar (1939) 20th Century Limited sleeper buffet lounge observation cars: Built by P-S in Lot #6567 to Plan #4082. Ordered in October 1938 and delivered in July 1939. Had 1 drawing room, 1 compartment, and 2 double bedrooms, with 27 seats in the lounge. Owned by Pullman until sold to NYC on 12/31/1945 and leased to Pullman for operation. NYC applied numbers in 1952. Resold to the B&O in either January (Link) or early March 1956 (Madden), retaining original NYC names, and remaining in Pullman operating lease. #10650 Genesee River to B&O #7510 Genesee River, withheld from Pullman operating lease in January 1966, subsequently (when??) sold or donated to the B&O RR Museum, later burned (what was the cause?) at an unknown date in the 1970's. #10651 Maumee River to B&O #7511 Maumee River, withheld from Pullman operating lease in August 1967, subsequently sold (when??) to a Reverend Harrison (first name unknown), I recall that during Rv. Harrison's ownership the car was kept/stored somewhere in Massachusetts, but I may be wrong, later (when??) resold to a unknown or private owner and moved to Lamoille, VT, later (when??) acquired by the Florida Central Railroad (FCEN) as #1899 and renamed Sam Pinsly (Plymouth, FL). #10652 Wabash River to B&O #7512 Wabash River, wrecked in early 1967 on an unknown train at Toll Gate, WV (exact date unknown, but car is listed as withheld from lease on 3/10/67, so that might actually be the wreck date).
