Georgia 300[1][2] is a heavyweight observation car from the golden era of rail travel that was built by the Pullman Standard Co. shops in 1930.

The Georgia Railroad used the car in trips to venues like The Masters Tournament and the Kentucky Derby.

[2] It ran until its retirement in 1982 after being made redundant as surplus due to the merger between Georgia Railroad and Family Lines.

[1][2][3] Heard, who owns a rail yard in Orange Park, Florida, purchased the car in 1985 and made a series of refurbishments in 1986, 1989, 1995, 2000[1][3] and 2008.

[3] In 2004, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry and running mate Sen. John Edwards, travelled aboard the car from St. Louis, Missouri to Kingman, Arizona on the Believe In America Train Tour, following the 2004 Democratic Convention in Boston.
