Posted  is a photo of the Walthers 28-1 parlor car.  Does anyone know if this 
 
the one that matches the DL&W "Julia Ward Howe" or "Virginia  Dare"?  No one 
has turned up a photo of either in DL&W service as  yet.

Based on the feedback thus far, it appears as though both may have  been 
repainted in GMY about the time of the introduction of the LW  equipment in 
1949.

Does any one know for sure?  What trains  were these used on?





Bill
I think you already got and answer on this, but I'll reiterate that on my  
9/26/54 roster both Parlor cars      Julia Ward Howe,  and Virginia Dare were 
listed as being in the stripped scheme, with two  vestibules, two 
lavatory's, ice cooled, a capacity of 33 in chairs, length over buffers of  
83' 6"
 
The two Parlor -Lounge cars Princess Joan, and Margaret were still green,  
with only one vestibule, ice cooled with a capacity of 40 in chairs, length over 
 buffers of 83' 0"
 
Sorry for the late response.
