<I>MISS ALVA</I>
Title:  MISS ALVA
Description:  This car had been completed by Pullman on 4 August 1911 as the Plan 2412 16-section sleeper MONTEITH. It was modified into a Plan 2412A car on 15 May 1924, converted into Tourist Car TC 4127 on 27 February 1935 and sold to the Louisiana & Arkansas on 4 Nov 1947 where it became 64-seat coach 353. After it was retired in 1963 it then went into private ownership, and was leased to Paramount Pictures in 1965 for use in their movie THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED. The movie featured Reader Railroad 2-8-0 1702 and much of it was filmed along the Louisville & Nashville at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The car was repainted as L&N 6137 (a fictitious number) and named MISS ALVA, after Natalie Wood’s character. When this photo was taken 20 years later, it was badly-faded and being used as part of the MISS ALVA BAR AND GRILL in Meridian, Mississippi; but it was eventually parked with some other cars near the city’s Amtrak station.
