PASSENGER CARS

Like the California Zepher which had cars owned by the three participating railroads (CB&Q, D&RGW, WP) across its East-West trek, the Grand Floridian likewise has cars by the Tennessee Southern, the Appalachian & Ohio, and the Greenfield Southeastern for its Midwest-Southeast (Chicago to Miami) trek. Likewise, the RR’s initials are located on the ends of each car, and car names reflective of their home road. Bob printed the decals in the CZ font. Cool. The A&O’s baggage car “The Buckeye State.”

The GSE sleeper - “The Crescent Moon".”

The TS chair car - “The Volunteer State.”

The TS dome car - “Gulf Shores Escape.”

The GSE steps up to the plate with its diner - “The Georgia Peach.”

The A&O’s sleeper car - “The Shady Rest” (for those who are old enough to remember TV’s Petticoat Junction.)

The A&O’s dome car - “The Queen City” (Cincy).

Bringing up the rear is the GSE’s dome car - “Flamingo Point.”
