Milwaukee Road "Camp Grant"
Title:  Milwaukee Road "Camp Grant"
Description:  This car was damaged beyond the museum's capcity for restoration and was offered for sale but eventually scrapped on site. The following is from an online disscussion about the car: This car was built by the Pullman Company in 1910 for the Chicago, Milwaukee, & Puget Sound RR which is subsidiary of the Milwaukee Road, as a 12-1 sleeper. The car had several name changes and in 1931 the Pullman Company converted it into a cafe/parlor/solarium car called the Camp Grant. (I believe there were 6 "Camp" cars. This one was named after Camp Grant in Rockford, Il which was a very important Army Induction/training base in both wars - the other camp cars were named after other military camps). The Camp Grant car ran on the Milwaukee Road in the Pacific Northwest as part of the prestigious train the "Arrow". The Car was a beautiful car in its day and has some beautiful woodwork in it. It has a Galley area, Cafe area, and I believe at least 16 swivel chairs in the parlor end of the car.
