Besides the L&N diner #2722 GLOBE COFFEE HOUSE, the other cars in this picture are (from close to far) L&N baggage-dormitory #1652, built in 1911 by Pullman in Lot #3880 as Plan #2411 12S-1C-1DR sleeper BINSTEAD, reconfigured in 1932 to Plan #3411 10S-3DB WILLIAM LEWIS SHARKEY, later renamed VICKER, sold in 1961 to L&N and reconfigured to bag-dorm, second car back is L&N diner #2715 (no name), last car is L&N baggage-dormitory #1653, built in 1917 by Pullman in Lot #4494 as Plan #2411 OLD FORGE, reconfigured in 1931 to Plan #3411 VILLA CHEER, sold in 1961 to L&N and reconfigured to bag-dorm. The #1652 and #1653 were 2 of 4 cars acquired by the L&N and converted to bag-dorms specifically for use by the Atomic Energy Commission for the transport of nuclear materials.

Forgot to mention that the farthest car back, L&N #1653, was scrapped several years ago.
