Colonial Hereford Farm Cattle Car         
Former Southern Rwy Dining Car converted into a Cattle Car. This car was featured in Trains Magazine some time before when I found it. It was parked on a siding off the Georgia and Florida Rwy from Midville to Augusta mainline, which can be found in the foreground. The car was set up with automatic feeding and watering system and had a room someone to ride with the Cattle. Month and year correct.

Bob Hasty General I have not heard anything about this car since that time. I have to do some research to be sure, but I would bet it is gone. 1/15/2013 12:59:48 AM
Jerry LaBoda General Correction... it was used specificly for ONE prized bull. Used a couple of times to take it to shows then the car was parked and no longer used. Car was originally Pullman PYNTON, a Plan 2410 12 Section - 1 Drawing Room, to PULL TC 1618, to SOU 3100 coach - dinette. Thanks for sharing the shot!!! 1/16/2013 3:54:02 PM
