N&W Pullman 4137 ?

[NW Mailing List]

Abram: The number 4137 is meaningless for an N&W passenger car (or Pullman). The 
date of May 1950 was less than a year after the Budd cars were delivered, and I 
have no record of any N&W Budd car being wrecked that early (especially wrecked 
enough to justify loss of a builders plate). I remember the last time you asked 
about it on the list. The plate could be legitimate (I never saw one on the 20 
sleepers Budd built for N&W, but that doesn't mean they weren't there!). But the 
information on the business card doesn't make any sense. Some of these cars are 
silll running on the S.A.M. Shortline out of Cordelle, GA. Maybe somebody can 
examine them to see if any of them still have such a plate somewhere. But 4137? 
No!

Pardon me, but I attached the wrong file to my earlier post.  Here is the 
correct file, a PDF which depicts the plate as well as the front and back of the 
business card attached to it.
