Business Car

RONNI
Every
self-respecting railroad has a business car, and for the auto-train
Corporation that was car #1.
Built
by Pullman in 1914 as ATSF heavyweight parlor-observation 3217,
the car was sold to SAL in 1948 to become their BIRMINGHAM. The
name was changed to SOUTHLAND in 1953. Notice
the brass/gold steps to the observation platform!
