| Post subject: | P&R Wooden Combine at Cass? |
Does anyone know much about the former Philadelphia & Reading wooden combination car that was stored at Cass Scenic Railway in WVa for years? I understand that it rotted to oblivion and was disassembled about ten years ago. I was trying to track down its history, road number, builder, how it ended up at Cass, etc. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks. http://rrmuseumpa.org |

Kurt, The Cass roster lists this combine as a 60 foot car built during the 1880's. The exact year and builder is unknown. It was later sold to the Buffalo Creek & Gauley RR. It was last rostered on the BC&G as X-15 and was used on their wreck train as a kitchen/dining car. The car came to Cass in May 1967 as a donation from Pittston Coal. After years on the dead line, the roof caved in and later it was a victim of arson. What's left still lingers on the dead line along the Durbin Line north of town. Regards, Jim Robinson |
