If anybody is knowledgeable about these Crescent, please speak up both here and by emailing Scott. I suggested the sleeper lounges, which was a great change to the lineup but that's about the extent of my knowledge on the consist. I'd love for the Crescent to be as accurate as possible so please come forward with any info!

So here’s what I found out regarding the Sunset Limited & PRR pool cars. The Sunset Limited pool service sleeper was an Amtrak 10-6 sleeping car mixed in during the 70’s.

the PRR pool service sleeping car was #8351 “Birch River” this car is in the Altoona RR Museum now.
l&n pool service sleepers were #3404 “pearl river” & #3411 “Kentucky River”

both the PRR & L&N pool sleepers were 10-6 sleepers.

www.rypn.org has some great info. Look up surviving Sou lightweight cars for a list of many of the cars used on the crescent. I’ll email Scott regarding these pool service cars too.
