Dover Harbor Pullman Car trails on the westbound Pennsylvanian at Lewistown, PA (11/04/2023)

Описание: In this region, I've seen my share of private cars attached to the Pennsylvanian. It's these occasions that make catching the train a bit more interesting, aside from those occasions where the Pennsylvanian is meeting with a freight train.

For the westbound Pennsylvanian on 11/04/2023, the train was carrying its usual consist, as well as the Dover Harbor. This sleeper-buffet lounge was built by the Pullman Factory in Chicago in 1923 as the Maple Shade, a combine-baggage-library car with four sleeping sections, a lounge, a barber shop, and a baggage area. It operated on Pennsylvania Railroad trains like the Broadway Limited and Spirit of St. Louis. It was renamed the Dover Harbor during a refurbishment in 1934 that gave it its current sleeper-buffet lounge setup, running in regular passenger service until retirement in 1965. It was purchased by the National Railway Historical Society in Washington DC in 1979, restored to its 1934 appearance here, and given safety upgrades to be certified for running on Amtrak trains.
