UP HARVARD CLUB
Title:  UP HARVARD CLUB
Description:  Built in October 1914 by Pullman in Lot #4292 to Plan #2521A as the 10 section (10S) sleeper-lounge observation PLEASANT HILL, 1 of 20 such cars built in that Lot; cars were outshopped between September and October. 10 cars were built for AT&SF, and 10 for MP, including the PLEASANT HILL. Between November 1933 and November 1936, 9 of the 20 cars were rebuilt to Plan #4025 8 section (8S) sleeper-buffet lounge solarium observations (various suffixes); the PLEASANT HILL was the last car to be rebuilt, in November 1936, to the HARVARD CLUB, originally Plan #4025D, changed to Plan variant #4025Q in February 1944. At the 12/31/1948 Pullman divestiture, UP acquired 2 of the Lot #4292, Plan #4025 cars: the HARVARD CLUB and the YALE CLUB, which had been rebuilt in September 1936 from the CASA BLANCA (built for AT&SF); the YALE CLUB was also originally Plan #4025D and changed to #4025Q in December 1943. At the divestiture, both cars were leased to Pullman for operation, and both were withdrawn from said lease in late October 1958. Both were subsequently scrapped in circa 1962. Scanned with an Epson V550 from an original Kodachrome 35mm slide. Photographer is unknown.
