Built by Pullman in 1911 as a 12 section-1 drawing room (12S-1DR) sleeper, named FORESTPORT, in Lot #3881 to Plan #2410. 1 of 50 such sleepers built in that Lot for the NYC. Sold at the 12/31/1948 divestiture to the SSW and leased to Pullman until 1954, then transferred to MofW as #96209. For more info, see Robert J.
