<I>MISS ALVA</I>
Title:  MISS ALVA
Description:  This freshly-painted and weathered car was in the Louisville & Nashville TURNTABLE TRACK at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi on 27 October 1965, while being used by Paramount Pictures in their movie THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED. The movie starred Robert Redford and Natalie Wood, and was being filmed in Bay St. Louis and New Orleans. The car was decorated as L&N 6137 (a fictitious identity) and named MISS ALVA, after Natalie Wood’s character. It had been completed by Pullman on 4 August 1911 as the Plan 2412 16-section sleeper MONTEITH and was modified into a Plan 2412A car on 15 May 1924. It was converted into Tourist Car TC 4127 on 27 February 1935 and sold to the Louisiana & Arkansas on 4 Nov 1947, where it became 64-seat coach 353, with no interior modifications. After it was retired in 1963, it went into private ownership, and was leased to Paramount for the movie.

After it was retired in 1963 it then went into private ownership, and was leased to Paramount Pictures in 1965 for use in their movie THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED. The movie featured Reader Railroad 2-8-0 1702 and much of it was filmed along the Louisville & Nashville at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The car was repainted as L&N 6137 (a fictitious number) and named MISS ALVA, after Natalie Wood’s character. When this photo was taken 20 years later, it was badly-faded and being used as part of the MISS ALVA BAR AND GRILL in Meridian, Mississippi; but it was eventually parked with some other cars near the city’s Amtrak station.
