This Pullman heavyweight parlor car is painted Pullman Green with ‘Natalie’ logo and lettering in metallic gold. It was built in the 1920s by Pullman-Standard and runs on six wheel passenger trucks. In 1942, Great Northern purchased their only two 28-1 parlor cars; they were the CORDELIA and the NATALIE. Cordelia and Natalie were built in 1924 and re-numbered to coach numbers #1083 & #1084 respectively by the GN in December of 1942. They were rebuilt into Buffet-Parlor-Observation cars TWIN CITIES (#1083) and TWIN PORTS (#1084) in 1952. The introduction of the steel cars brought the end of the wooden cars which had been the rule since the 1880s. With the opening of the Pennsylvania Station in New York in 1910 and the Grand Central Terminal in 1913, passenger safety in the tunnels approaching these buildings demanded a more noncombustible material than wood.
