Queen Mary

[Bob Bufkin]

Just heard that the ex PRR parlor car Queen Mary was demolishe in NJ.  It was part of a restaurant complex which was torn down.  Another piece of great railroad history gone.

And you filed this under weathering?

 

[Bob Bufkin]

Crap, no.  Thought I put this in the proper place.  Thanks for moving it.

Picture? Link to a picture? This non-SPF is curious.

Also, I thought the "Queen Mary" was a big-a$$ 16-axle flat car. Yes? No?

Both.

The Queen Mary super flatcar is in the museum at Altoona.

That's too bad. I'm surprised that none of the historical preservation societies didn't get involved.

The historical societies may not have had either notice or time to take action.  They may also not have had interest, since rumor has it that a large chunk of one side may have been cut out when remodeled into a restaurant.  In other words, it may not have been worth the effort and expense of saving.  Regrettably.
