ADM's post reminds me....

12-1 former Pullman "John Greenleaf Whittier" once in the ORM collection now at IRM.

BTW feel free to make any corrections to my last post if anyone knows of more info.

Pennsylvania Railroad Parlor Car 7007 built by Pullman in December 1929 as 13 seat parlor-buffet (kitchen)-12 seat dinette (2 4-seat tables and 2 2-seat tables)-16 seat lounge "Lambs Club".

Pennsylvania Railroad 12 Parlor Chairs Buffet Kitchen 14 Lounge Seats 7005 "Friars Club" built by Pullman in 1929.

Pennsylvania Railroad 10 Parlor Chair Dining 7004 "Vieux Carre" built by Pullman in 1964, originally "Pequot", rebuilt in 1913.

Pennsylvania Railroad 6-3 sleeper 9514 "Times Square" built by Pullman in 1925. It was sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad as 8561 "Times Square".

Pennsylvania Railroad combine 7003 "Matchless" built by Pullman in 1910, originally "Honey Brook", and rebuilt in 1933.

Most of the info for the cars at Dennison is unfortunately incorrect. This is due to the fact that they have taken several cars that are not of actual PRR heritage and dressed them as such. The Lambs Club and Times Square are authentic, but not so for the others. For example, the #7006 is not the real Plan #3992 Kiwanis Club, but is instead the Plan #3410A 12S-1DR sleeper East Cumminsville, a former B&O-owned car (#7419/MofW #911571), and not PRR. And, the real Plan #4019A/M restaurant-parlor #7003 Matchless is over in West Lafayette, OH, at Unusual Junction, along with the Plan #4015 6DB sleeper-lounge #8573 Marsh Run. Both of those cars were formerly at the Railroads of America Museum in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. Recall that there are one or two other cars of PRR heritage at Unusual Junction (but not from the Pullman fleet, so I don't have notes readily available; but they've been discussed here before.)

13 room lightweight Pullman Sleeper Philadelphia County survives somewhere in Indiana. Not sure exactly who saved it or where it went, just remember it being trucked away from Logansport some 3 odd years ago.

It was saved and removed from ITM by John Owen, who lacked the resources to move it further to Louisville (where he was apparently trying to create a railcar bnb, he unfortunately passed away shortly afterward), and another Indiana entity bailed him out, if you keep following the ITM thread there are more details, but I believe Marion was its last reported location.
