The Luxury Abroad the Pearl (Southern #2422)

Welcome back railfans to another exciting tour of VMT's railyard! On today's tour, we show you the Pullman luxury aboard the Southern Lake Pearl!






The Lake Pearl, built by Pullman in the 10-2-1 configuration. Meaning it has 10 sections, one drawing room, and two private rooms. I truthfully do not know to much about this car, other then it is Southern, and that it was possibly built near or around the 40's or 50's. Also, if anyone has any info on it, please share, for I do not know much about this car!

Now on to the pictures!
