The late Jim Bradley of Stonington, CT used to collect Pullman cars. He
had six or 8, in his back yard right next to the main line. You could
see them from the train as it went by. After he died there was some talk
that some might be scrapped, but I think all have been saved now. One
was an open platform observation from "The Yankee Clipper", but it had
rusted very badly.
