SAL-Seaboard Air Line
|
In 1956 Pullman Standard delivered 3 specially modifed "honorary dome" lounge-sleeper cars for "Silver Meteor" service between New York and Florida. Lounge windows "wrapped around" up into the ceiling , providing a light, airy ambiance , which along with the decor, was designed to stimulate thoughts of warm, sunny climes. Tunnels in the northeast prevented use of regular domes on the train. |
"Hollywood Beach"this car is a survivor of this series and is available for charter from Southern Classic Train Cars at 615-850-1730. The car was in use (1999) on the Broadway Dinner Train, Nashville TN. In the 1967 merger of SAL and ACL into SCL, the car was renamed "Sun Ray". |
