C & E I color scheme question
Posted by C&O#2 on Saturday, October 6, 2012 9:04 PM

Sorry to be late to this, but I just wanted to ad a little information.

When the L & N bought the "Pine" series cars in the early 50's they got 22 of them as stated here. What was not said here is that N C & St L got 4, and C & E I got 3. They matched the L & N cars in color scheme, and were used as run through cars on the several trains these lines shared.
