This 28-1 heavyweight parlor car is green with white lettering and runs on 6-wheel passenger trucks. In December 1949, New Haven converted heavyweight “Desiree” into commuter coach #619 as part of a program to replace aging commuter equipment with surplus heavyweight parlors. The car originally was part of a 12-car parlor series used in first-class service between Boston and Washington DC. New Haven rostered the second largest fleet of parlors among American railroads.
