Atlanta
Car 496 was a real boomer.  It was originally built in 1929 for the Indianapolis and Southeastern as a parlor car.  It was one of the fanciest and one of the last of the curved side cars to be built. In 1932 it was sold to the Nashville- Franklin Railway as their 104 and in 1941 it became Georgia Power 496.  In the late 1950s the body resided in a junk yard near the present Martin Luther King MARTA station.
Shown here at the Burler Street Barn.
