A real live movie prop:
In 1977 a movie company needed some passenger cars for the made for TV movie "Mary White." They approached the Kansas City Railroad Museum in the River Quay district and chose our ex CB&Q/BN power car and ex Frisco Business car #3. We really had no other suitable cars.
We repainted the combine Pullman Green. We debated where to place the Pullman lettering and decided it looked best over the coach section rather than centering it on the car. I applied the adhesive lettering for the letterboard and car names. The movie company painted a piece of Masonite to make a Pullman letterboard to cover the Frisco lettering on the business car.
It's what was available locally and the cars were moved to KC Union Station and picked up by the Santa Fe to be moved to Wichita for filming. They had about 10-15 seconds of screen time. Stock footage was used to show a steam powered train approaching the station.
