PBVR Fan Trip |
| Description: |
This was the first excursion on the Port Bienville Railroad (PBVR), and it was sponsored by the Mississippi Transportation Museum. PBVR 1 was a 45-ton GE, serial number 13005, built as U.S. Army 7322 in April 1943 and later U.S. Navy 65-00505. Coach 1002 came from the Southern Railway, while the 1147 was a former Texas & Pacific divided coach leased from the Hartwell Railroad in Georgia. Unfortunately, excursions on the PBVR did not last for very long. |
