Is this business car still at the Cambridge Junction site?

It should still be out there.

IIRC the car in question is ex-C&O #4.


The #4 was built in 1913 by Pullman in Lot #4097. Air conditioning was installed in 1935; I don't know when the Adlake windows were installed, nor when it was retired by C&O.

It was there last I looked in November. It was being used as a "spook train". There was quite a bit of activity there at the Stagecoach Stop recently. So I have no idea if it's still for sale.

In other news the former? owner of the Stagecoach Stop passed away. He was a WWII vet.

By the way, there have been several instances recently of old threads being necro'd with "is anything new happening"? I notice the posters are not all the same person but all have very few posts under their belt. Is something going on?

We pass that car every August going to the race track. It has been used as a spook train in the past. There is a scenic railroad in Clinton, just down the road (east). It hooks into a main line several miles south. It looks good from the road. I have never been up close to it.
