This album contains builder photos and in-service photos of 1600 series lightweight coaches built by Pullman-Standard to re-equip all C&O mailine passenger trains in 1950. Featuring the new yello-blue-stainless steel scheme, the cars were used until the end of the C&O passenger operations and a few were bought by Amtrak, though they lasted in Amtrak service only a few years. The most remember of C&O passenger cars today, wit their cozy compartments separated at center-car with a double partition with curved aisle,these cars were the top of the line in their day.
