21st Century Limited
Pilot Train
Fourth Presidential Car
Presidential car for one of the seven corporate sponsors. Each presidential car was for the exclusive use of a single corporate sponsor.
Each was to contain a lounge, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen and crew quarters. The only type of rail car routinely set up this way were heavyweight cars used as private cars by corporate presidents in the 1920s-40s. An early version of the project book calls this a heavyweight coach, though it's described as more of a parlor car or business car.
