Mark, and everyone, <br />Permit to speak from my passenger cottage (studio) on the last year heavyweights were built. According to dave Randall's excellent Pullman Libray the last heavyweights came out of Pullman's shop in 1937. <br /> <br />In 1966 a bunch of us rode from Chicgo to Mexico City on the Illini Railfan Club's private car "Chief Illini." This was the 10 section, lounge observation built as the "Inglehome" and used in service on the Frisco. <br />I had a lower berth and the ride was amazing. You couldn't feel anything but forward motion. I would rather have a heavyweight lower berth than a roomette. <br /> <br />Mitch
