View series

The View series was a fleet of six sleeper-observation lounges built by Pullman-Standard for use on the Pennsylvania Railroad's passenger trains.

The exteriors were painted in the Pennsylvania's tuscan red, with a maroon band around the windows and gold pinstripes.

A single hallway to one side led past the private rooms to a lounge area.

[9] Following the end of World War II the Pennsylvania ordered new equipment for the Broadway Limited, including two new View series sleeper-observation cars.

[14] The two postwar cars moved to the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad's Florida Special, a seasonal New York-Florida train.

[16] After a period of private ownership the Railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati acquired the Metropolitan View in 1997.
