Pine-series (railcar)
The ''Pine''-series was a fleet of sleeping cars built by Pullman-Standard in 1953. The cars were built according to Pullman plan 4183; each contained six sections, six roomettes and four double bedrooms (colloquially "6-6-4"). The cars were originally owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N), the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad (C&EI), and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway (NC&StL).
== Design ==
Pullman-Standard surveyed over 2,000 passengers during the design phase of the ''Pine'' series, and based on their suggestions implemented several improvements to the exterior and interior design. The new cars rode more smoothly than their predecessors. On the inside, Pullman incorporated postwar improvements such as air-conditioning, fluorescent lighting, and sponge-rubber seats.〔 A major improvement over the pre-war ''American'' series 6-6-4 sleeping car was the rearrangement of the accommodation:
in the ''American''-series the premium-priced double bedrooms were at the vestibule end of the car over one of the trucks, the roomettes were in the middle, end the sections were at the blind (non-vestibule) end over the other truck; in the ''Pine''-series, the bedrooms were moved to the center of the car where the smoothest ride was. Consequently, the ''Pine''-series are sometimes referred to as "6-4-6" cars.
