Eastern Railroad Discussion > Roster Shots of two NS Excursion CarsDate: 03/31/15 12:51 Roster Shots of two NS Excursion Cars Author: MartyBernard The data on the cars are from Jerry LaBoda's Passenger Car Photo Index at: http://passcarphotos.info/
I photographed these cars while they were waiting for excursion runs with SOU 630 at the North Carolina Transportation Museum at Spencer, NC on March 27, 2013. 1. NS Tennessee #42 is ex-ADIX 1681, exx-CDOT, exxx-PaTrain, nee-C&O 1621. It is a Pullman Standard light-weight HEP generator - 66-seat coach, formerly a cab - generator - coach, originally a 52-seat coach. It had an amazing shine. 2. NS New Jersey #46 is ex-ADIX 1605, exx-CDOT, exxx-ACPA, nee-C&O 1624. It is a Pullman Standard light-weight 102-seat coach, originally a 52-seat coach. Enjoy, Marty Bernard Edited 1 time(s).

That's very hard to believe as Sharon has just stated, the passengers are knocking knees. Are they air plane seats? I just cannot imagine 102 seats in that type of car.

Date: 03/31/15 17:36 Re: Roster Shots of two NS Excursion Cars Author: MartyBernard Jerry LaBoda's site says NS excursion coaches nos. 43, 46, and 47 have been rebuilt to 102 seats. If he says so, I believe it is correct. Those of you who doubt it have never been in a commuter coach with 3 - 2 seating, as njmidland suggests they must have. With 3 - 2 seating that's about 20 rows which is fine for a non-overnight coach.
Marty Bernard Date: 03/31/15 20:17 Re: Roster Shots of two NS Excursion Cars Author: The_Chief_Way well they came from commuter service so perhaps that's where they got their 3-2 seating
Date: 04/01/15 03:15 Re: Roster Shots of two NS Excursion Cars Author: howeld I dont know about 3-2 or number of seats but I do know that on one of NS excursions i overheard some older passengers complain about how the seats weren't very comfortable, were upright and couldn't recline.
