"A Train Ride Back In Time" Conway Scenic Gertrude Emma Train Ride

The Gertrude Emma was built by the Pullman Palace Car Company
in 1898 as a sleeper-parlor-observation car for service on the new
“Pennsylvania Limited” between New York and Chicago.
Considered at the time to be a work of art in color and ornamentation, she was the pride of the Pullman shops. After years of service, the car was retired from regular passenger service in 1938 and converted to a workman’s bunk car. She was rescued from scrapping and purchased by the Conway Scenic Railroad in 1975, where bunk room partitions were removed, and beautiful woodwork was discovered under layers of paint and grime. This 114-year old car continues to enjoy a renewed life as First Class seating on our Valley Trains, transporting folks on a journey back in time to the grand old days of railroading. She is shown in the photo to the left next to our 1874 station and 1921 steam locomotive #7470. Information Credit: Conway Scenic Railroad
