[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] First Mr. Palmland, please excuse my parsing of your material, but it seemed the most expedient way to address the multitude of points made: [QUOTE] I believe Adirondack Club is ex C&O Blue Ridge Club, one of eight 5DBR-lounge-observation cars built for the stillborn 'Chessie' streamliner.[/QUOTE]The eight '--Club' cars noted were of Pullman Standard design; the Chessie equipment was all Budd built and was not named. [QUOTE] Four were sold upon delivery to the B&O[/QUOTE]C&O Shenandoah Club B&O Dana C&O Tidewater Club B&O Nappanee C&O Ohio River Club B&O Metcalf C&O Wolverine Club B&O Wawasee [QUOTE]..and one was converted to an office car.[/QUOTE]C&O New River Club; Office Car 29 [QUOTE]Of the other three, including Blue Ridge Club, two were used on the C&O/Chessie until Amtrak and one was wrecked in 1976 (from C&O Passenger Cars, Harry Stegmaier).[/QUOTE]These remaining cars were converted during 1961 to a Dorm Kitchen Diner configuration, and retained their names of 'Bluegrass, Allegheny', and, as noted by Mr. Palmland, 'Blue Ridge Club'. One of such, [URL=http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1009497] 'Allegheny Club'[/URL], was in the consist of my one and only ride through the New River Gorge during Sep 1962 WW on the FFV. My complaint was that the tables were placed by the window bolster making viewing quite difficult. It appears Mr. Ellis addressed this with his car.
