Georgia State Railroad Museum
Title:  Georgia State Railroad Museum
Description:  At the Georgia State Railoroad Museum. This was the RPO used on the Man o' War, the Columbus to Atlanta streamliner hosted by the Central of Georgia. Also notice how the door and window for the RPO section were removed, and vents and air cooling on the roof were installed. While I have not confirmed this, the Central of Georgia may have rebuilt the car in the late 1960s (due to them canceling RPO service on the Man O War and using 391 as the primary baggage car) into a car for handeling REA goods.

Georgia State Railroad Museum
Title:  Georgia State Railroad Museum
Description:  Trucks. Notice how they were converted to rollerbearings. This was done by the Central of Georgia in the same shop complex I took this photo in-Savannah-and it was done when this car was assignes to use on the Man O'War. The Central of Georia ordered a few of these ACF smooth sided RPOs, and they were delivered in late 1945 and early 1946, before the Nancy Hanks II and the Man O War were launched.
