AMTK 8380 |
| Description: |
Counter-lounge car 8380 DIXIE TRAVELER was originally Maine Central diner-bar-lounge 15 MERRYMEETING. It was one of four such cars (MEC 15-16, Boston & Maine 70-71) built under Pullman-Standard Lot W6778 in 1947 for service from Boston to Portland and Bangor, but none of these cars served their original owners for very long. The MEC cars were sold to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois in 1951, while the B&M cars went to the Wabash in 1957.The MEC cars became C&EI 603 MERRY JOURNEY and 604 MERRY MEETING with no interior changes, then went to the Louisville & Nashville in 1959 where they were remodeled as 28-seat diner/18-seat lounge cars 2800 DIXIE TRAVELER and 2801 DIXIE JOURNEY. The L&N remodeled the cars once again in 1964 as 14-seat lunch-counter/8-seat diner/18-seat lounge cars, with no name change. The B&M/WAB cars were retired by the N&W in 1970, but the former MEC/C&EI/L&N cars went to Amtrak as the 8380 and 8381, and were retired in 1977. DIXIE TRAVELER was photographed on the PANAMA LIMITED. (approximate date) |
