If anyone is interested there is a 1900 era railroad passenger car on ebay. Reported to be a RI car used in the 1949 Chicago RR Fair.

Here is the active link. I believe it was used behind CRI&P 4-6-0 "No. 801", which was really Warren & Oauchita Valley No. 1, the RI having scrapped all its old engines before the Fair. The engine later became "No. 9" and last operated in the late 1950s. Afterward, it was kept in the stone roundhouse at Herington, Kansas, until sale to private interests associated at North Freedom. Has the car been at Mid-Continent since the 1960s? Where is it now?

The passenger car and W&OV #1 are on the Kettle Moraine at North Lake, Wisconsin.
