In the 1950s and 60s, I rode the Sunnyland several times and watched and paced it many times. Its standard consist was two storage mail and express cars, an RPO-baggage and a 760, 1060 or 1200 modernized coach. Sundays there was no RPO, and many times the train would be expanded to six cars with extra head end cars or coaches. Here is #807 crossing Plattin Creek at Crystal City. The last shot is the coach passing through the Mississippi River settlement known as "Seventy-Six." Enjoy. Ken McElreath
Ken, I have to admit that from the first time I saw them, I have coveted those cars! My task is to build two sets of Sunnyland cars for my railroad, and.. two sets of Memphian cars.
