Heavyweight Passenger Car 3-Pac - Special Run for 9/11/01 -- Red Cross Pullman Cars - Walter Reed, Louis Pasteur & Elie Metchnikoff

As a response to our recent national tragedy, K-Line will release this special set of three Pullman Sleepers, and all profits from the sale of the set will be donated to the Red Cross. The set consists of three 15" Heavyweight Pullmans based on cars built for the Red Cross in 1917. Each is named for a famous person in medical history including "Walter Reed" (US Army physician who determined the cause of yellow fever), "Louis Pasteur" (French chemist and biologist who created the science of microbiology and developed the pasteurization process to prevent food spoilage) and "Elie Metchnikoff" (Russian biologist who helped create the immunization process based on his work with white blood cells).
