}} ''Dinwiddie County'' Pullman Car is a historic Pullman car located near Midlothian, Chesterfield County, Virginia. It was built in 1926 as the ''Mt. Angeles'' by the Pullman Company; one of thirty cars on Lot 4998, all to Plan 3521A.〔Madden, items 9617–9746 of Excel file.〕 It is a heavyweight, all-steel sleeping car with ten sections and one observation lounge. In June 1934 Pullman rebuilt it to Plan 3521F and changed the name of the car to ''Dinwiddie'' and again in April 1937 the name was changed to ''Dinwiddie County'',〔 which name it retains to this day.
