Lounge Car - Georgia 300

Built by Pullman-Standard in 1930 as a 10-Section Lounge Car for the Southern Railway and named "General Polk". The car operated on the "Crescent" between New York and New Orleans. Purchased by the Georgia Railroad in 1949, the car was rebuilt to the office car configuration it has today and given the number 300. The Georgia 300 made regular trips to the Masters Golf Tournament and occasionally the Kentucky Derby. Declared surplus with th merger of the Georgia Railroad and the Family Lines, the car was acquired by the current owner in 1985. It has been rebuilt and has since hosted presidents including Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Historical Information about this car provided by AAPRCO.
