Freight Equipment
-C&O Flatcar 80524
-(?) Boxcars 1302 and 1305
I do not know any information about these cars. The boxcars might not be important.



Perhaps "not important" but I am still interested in finding out about the boxcars, and the C&O flat for that matter.

Regarding the double deck open car, I am not aware if any autoracks of that vintage have survived otherwise.

Not on the list is a steam operated parade locomotive and a couple of rubber tired cars, perhaps built by a 40&8 division of veterans. It was some kind of small steam traction or stationary boiler, with a steam auto engine and a chain drive. Years ago for some reason, I thought I spotted it on a google streetview in a southern NY town, under a shelter.

Did the double decker open car make it to K&K?

Since you ask if the car made it to the K&K, I'm guessing that you're referring to the Gettysburg Railroad car. It was never moved to the K&K, but they had a different double deck open air car made from a PRR gondola. The Converted gondola had the second level cut off and went to "Pennsy Railcar Restorations" according to my research. A RYPN thread from 2018 states that the Gettysburg Railroad car was scrapped in 2018 after sitting in Gettysburg for a few years. (See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42001& ) You can still see the car on google maps, behind the engine house in Gettysburg, PA.

The gondola is still in the hands of Pennsy Railcar Restorations, and is stored out of public view on the Black River & Western Railroad in Hunterdon County, NJ. The last I saw of it several years ago, the car had all its sides removed and was awaiting restoration. The frame still had the faded orange from the KKRR.

Pennsy Railcar Restorations is the same organization that has the LV SW1 112, currently painted as BR&W 400, and PRR SW1 9206, restored back to its original Pennsy scheme. They also have a decent sized collection of historic freight equipment, mostly of Pennsy heritage, in various stages of restoration. All are located on the BR&W, with some used for occasional photo freights. The gondola is definitely in good hands here.
