L&N 3301 ROYAL STREET |
| Description: |
This was the bedroom-side of Louisville & Nashville observation car 3301 ROYAL STREET while on display at the railroad’s station in New Orleans. It was one of eight Plan 4162 5-bedrooom / buffet / lounge observation cars ordered from Pullman-Standard by the A&WP, FEC, L&N, NYC and Southern for use on the CRESCENT and the NEW ROYAL PALM. All were built in February and March 1950. In 1954 the two L&N cars, 3300 ROYAL CANAL and this one, were reassigned from the CRESCENT to the GULF WIND and remained on that train until 1966. Both were withdrawn from lease to Pullman on 23 October 1968, retired in 1970 and sold to equipment dealer Preston Duffy. ROYAL CANAL was scrapped after a fire, but ROYAL STREET went into private ownership and, as of 2022, it meets Amtrak requirements and is used for excursion and charter service. |

| Description: |
Meticulously restored in 1992 by a private owner, the curved observation lounge appears much like it would have during the heyday of the "Crescent" train from New York City to New Oleans in the 1950's. |

The traditional upper and lower berths in a bedroom have the mark of a Pullman designed layout. Note the Pullman logo on the blanket - wish it had been facing the doorway instead of upside down! |
