Hi,

Looking over a coboose pictorial I bought my son, there's a picture of what appears to be an ex B&M narrow monitor caboose behind a green wooden passenger car. Both look to be lettered Naumkeag Shortline.

Any idea what this line was, and where the caboose is now?

So apparently the car was lettered Naukeag Central and was located in Ashburnham, MA where it resides today. At least the settles the question of where the buggy is now. According to B&M caboose expert Tim Gilbert, this car was "#104238, a five window narrow monitor buggy, was transferred to the Naukeag Museum in 1955. #104238 was built by the Concord Car Shops in 1899."

as for the coach in the picture, I am still looking for info.
