<html><body>Island Rose and Island Regal would have been painted Pullman green and assigned to N&W until the Pullman break-up circa 1948. At that time, N&W purchased the cars, painted them in their standard passenger colors, and leased them back to Pullman for operation.<div><br></div><div>According to my notes and time tables, they primarily came out of New York City, although the routeing could change. For example, in 1947, it seems they took the PRR down to Washington DC, then the Southern's Pelican to Roanoke, then the Cavalier to Williamson. In 1951, they were New York to Roanoke via N&W Shenandoah Line trains 1 & 2.</div><div><br></div><div>Marty Flick<br><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "NW Mailing List" <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org><br>To: "NW Modeling List"<br>Cc: "NW Mailing List"<br>Sent: Saturday October 18 2025 7:26:58AM<br>Subject: Re: 10-1-1 what for?<br><br>

Does anyone know the history of what these island Pullmans were?
What were they used in, seems pretty specific since there was only
two.
