Southern 3589 |
| Description: |
Southern Railway 3589 was photographed in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal about one year before the railroad turned over the operation of the SOUTHERN CRESCENT to Amtrak. This was one of three Railway Post Office-baggage cars built for the railroad in late 1950 by American Car & Foundry. The 3589 was technically owned by the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific - as shown by the initials on the letterboard at this end of the car, while the 1727 and 1728 were owned by the Southern itself; and all three were converted into full baggage cars after RPO service ended. The 1727 and 1728 were retired when Amtrak took over the operation of the SOUTHERN CRESCENT in 1979, but this car was sold to Amtrak. It was initially numbered Amtrak second 1022, then modified for head-end power and renumbered 1127, and was stored in 2007. The lettering on the end of the car reads THIS CAR EQUIPPED WITH HYATT JP1A OIL BOX JOURNAL BEARINGS-DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ALTERNATE BEARINGS. |
