L&N RR passenger car #3200

This car was in service with P&LE as a commuter train out of Pittsburgh PA to College PA. That service ended in 1984. 

This car also saw service on the Central City Limited in 1992 behind Nickel Plate #765. Several members of the Chapter rode the train.

The car is currently preserved at the LM&M Railroad in the Milwaukee  Road colors.

The following is from the LM&M website.  The 3200 at Cincinnati Union Terminal bringing up the markers on The Humming Bird

The 3200 was built be the American Car and Foundry Company (ACF) for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The L&N used the car on its Humming Bird passenger train between Cincinnati, OH and New Orleans, LA.

After retirement from the L&N in the 1960s the car was sold to the Pittsburgh and Lake Eire Railroad. The P&LE purchased the coach for commuter train service in the Pittsburgh area. 

After its brief stint in commuter service, the 3200 was sold to the Ft Wayne Railroad Historical Society for excursion service. The car would later be owned by the Friends of the 261, Lake Central Rail Tours, and the Cincinnati Dinner Train before coming to Lebanon for use on the LM&M Railroad.

The 3200 is currently painted to honor the Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul, and Pacific Railroad, also known as the Milwaukee Road.  The car is named the Montgomery to honor both the L&N and the CL&N. The L&N stopped in Montgomery, AL. The CL&N stopped in Montgomery.
