Title:
PREAMBLE EXPRESS
Description:
The American Freedom Train Foundation’s
PREAMBLE EXPRESS
was parked on track 3 in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal for a brief visit as the AFTF was making arrangements for the
AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN
tour. Cars 1-4 arrived and left here behind Union Pacific E9A 951, which had been painted red, white and blue for this duty. Car 4 was originally Reading commuter coach 1329, built by Bethlehem Shipbuilding in Wilmington, Delaware in 1922. It became
PERMACEL EXPRESS
car P3 in 1966, when it received its open platform, then
SPRINGMAID SPECIAL
car 14 in 1968 and then
PREAMBLE EXPRESS
car 4 in mid-1974. It was subsequently renumbered 205 for use on the
AFT
, then went to BC Rail as the
BRITANNIA
and then went into dinner train service in Idaho and Washington.
