Title:  William Kratville's "Cornhusker Club" (Postcard Photo)
Description:  Built by the Pullman Company in Chicago, IL as "Mt. Doane". The car was used in general service by Pullman for over 30 years.

Doane" was taken out of service and put into government storage in 1961 for possible use during the Korean War. In 1962, the "Mt.

Around 1975, Kratville donated the car to the Durham Museum in Omaha Union Station. See http://www.durhammuseum.org Photo date & location are rough estimates.
