Southern Railway "Pelican" in 1952

My dad took this picture of the Southern Pelican (I believe) train #41 at Bristol, VA in 1952 on a journey from New Jersey to Sardis MS (I think he was on the way home by this time).

Anyone able to add any information based on what is visible? Thanks.

I spent every summer on this train from Penn Station in NYC to Knoxville, Tennessee.
I have fond memories of the dining cars, counting cows, and going through tunnels.
