The Survivor (Railroad Car)
- The Survivor (Railroad Car)
"The Survivor" is a private railroad car built by the American Car and Foundry Company in 1926 for Jesse Woolworth, the heiress to F.W. Woolworth.
The car was named Japauldon for her late husband, James Paul Donahue. The car was used by the Woolworth family from 1926 through 1939, transporting the family to French Lick, Pinehurst, the Greenbriar and Palm Beach. The car is reputed to have been the courtship car of Mrs. Donahue's niece, Barbara Hutton, and Cary Grant.
The current owner Dante Stephensen purchased the car in 1982 and has progressively restored it, renaming it "The Survivor". It is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
