Does anyone know if the former Long Island Rail Road wooden combine that last served on the Moscow, Camden & San Augustine shortline railroad in Texas until the late '60's is still in existance? I know a large number of that lines steam locomotives made it into preservation and I am curious if the combine was as lucky. belpaire@aol.com |

Yes, it survived. I believe the combine went to the Reader Railroad which still owns it, and that it is presently on the property of the Dardanelle & Russellville Railroad in Arkansas. gbrewer@yahoo.com |

I took the picture below at Reader, Arkansas in 1997; before #4 went to Florida and then the D&R. I did not know the heritage of the car, but I am guessing it is the one in question. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Reader Railroad, Reader, AR  james@survivingworldsteam.com |

I would describe its condition when I saw it as "fair". I believe the steps were removed and the windows boarded up. Alan Maples AMaples@aol.com |
