Jim Nichols: Photo of Tennessean , May/June '98 Arrow

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for this information, as it answers a question I had about how long the silver paint lasted. Yes, the photo is earlier than 1944 - possibly as early as late 1941. The J pulling the train dates it as no earlier than October 1941.  Jim Nichols

  The Pullman Project database lists the following painted "Southern Streamline Colors" in 1941:

  Plan 3410G (12 Sections - 1 Drawing Room)

  Brentwood (repainted Pullman std. 1944, Southern green 1955)
  Dahlonega (repainted Pullman std. 1944)
  Knickerbocker (repainted Pullman std. 1944, Southern Shadowline 1949, 1953)
  Puritan (repainted Pullman std. - no date)

  Plan 3411E (10 Sections - 3 Double Bedrooms)

  Villa Nova (repainted Pullman std. 1943, Southern 1954)
  Villa Heights (repainted Pullman std. 1944)

  Therefore, I suggest the photo was taken before 1944, and the car is either Villa Nova or Villa Heights (the windows, left to right are men's toilet room, sink - the small window, smoking lounge.- the double window, 3 bedrooms - single windows, 10 sections - 5 double windows, aisle - the last double window).
