The Survivor (Railroad Car)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Survivor is a private railroad car built by the American Car and Foundry Company in 1926 for Woolworth heiress Jesse Woolworth. The car was named Japauldon for her late husband, James Paul Donahue. Part of the social scene from 1926 through 1939, the car took the Woolworths to French Lick, Pinehurst, the Greenbriar and Palm Beach.
The car is reputed to be the courtship car of Mrs. Donahue's niece, Barbara Hutton, and Cary Grant. The current owner purchased the car in 1982, and has progressively restored it, renaming it the Survivor because it has.
The car is owned by Dante Stephensen and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
