Buoyed by postwar optimism, the Pennsylvania Railroad ordered the Catalpa Falls as part of a $21 million order for 214 new cars in May of 1946 and delivered in May of 1949. The car was intended for the Broadway Limited, the most prestigious passenger train on what for decades was the top railroad in the nation. The Broadway Limited’s sleepers and lounge cars were staffed and operated by the Pullman Company under contract to the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Broadway Limited made its last run on September 9, 1995.
