| Southern Railway sleeper-lounge 2351 CRESCENT HARBOR was dead-heading out of New Orleans on the SOUTHERN CRESCENT. This was one of four CRESCENT-series cars built by Pullman-Standard in December 1949 for service on the CRESCENT, but they stopped operating between Atlanta and New Orleans in April 1964. These Plan 4160 cars had deluxe accommodations with 2 drawing rooms, 1 master room (with a shower), a buffet and a 21-seat lounge, and they remained on the SOUTHERN CRESCENT between Washington and Atlanta until the end of its operation. The only other lightweight cars built with master rooms were six Pennsylvania Railroad VIEW-series sleeper-lounge observation cars built by P-S for the BROADWAY LIMITED: four Plan 4080 cars in May 1938 and two Plan 4133 cars in January 1949. |
