Title:
PCS 6
Description:
Office car PCS 6 had been built by the Pullman Car & Manufacturing Co. in January 1928 as Boston & Albany 99. It was one of six office cars built that year by PC&M for the New York Central System, and it was renumbered NYC 6 in May 1936. The car was assigned Penn Central number 6 with the creation of PC on 1 February 1968; but it didn’t last long and was retired on 4 August 1969. (PC subsequently had two more office cars numbered 6.) It was acquired by Knoxville scrap dealer David Witherspoon, and here it was arriving in New Orleans on a special train from Knoxville for the Tennessee-Air Force
SUGAR BOWL
, which was played the next day. The car was eventually purchased by someone in the New Orleans area, and it was still there in 2020, albeit in a very derelict condition. I don’t know what PCS stood for.
