locked Heavy Weight NO&NE 5400

Does anyone know of a list of all heavyweight Pullman sleepers acquired by the Southern in 1948 as part of the Pullman antitrust case settlement — and which sleepers were assigned to which subsidiary?

I have seen a photo of NO&NE 5400, a heavyweight sleeper that appears to be a 10 section - 2 compartment - 1 drawing room sleeper (probably a “Lake” series car) but the name is not visible in the photo and I would like a little bit more of its history.

Thanks,

According to Wayner the NONE cars were 4500s and the passenger car diagrams that show the Pullman cars do not show anything in the 5400s.

4500 was a 10Sec1Dr 2Cmpt car plan 2585D lot 4592 built between 10/20 and 12/20.  It was named Fort Thomas.
