Built by Pullman in 1923 for the Pennsylvania Railroad as a Combine Baggage-Library Car and named "Maple Shade". The 81ft car weighed 80 tons and had a 4 Section, 12 Seat Lounge, Barber Shop, and a 28ft Baggage Area. It operated on famous Pennsylvania trains including the "Broadway Limited" and the "Spirit Of St. Louis" for 11 years.
