N&W ex-Pullman parlor to coach conversions

[NW Mailing List]

Were most of the later(?) N&W heavyweight coaches 12-wheeled?  I remember a trip in such a coach in ''55 or so that had been upgraded with reclining seats, photo murals,modern lighting . . .  The first part of my journey had been in a lightweight coach on the RF&P and i was surprised by how well the N&W coach rode.

I know that they were in the 750 - 775 number series... does anyone have an info as to what the Pullman Tourist car numbers or names were and what number they carried on the N&W???  I know that some were Pullman Plan 2416, while others were of other plans.
