Is this car, at the National New York Central Museum in Elkhart, Indiana, really an ex-NYC car? I've heard it could be ex-Rock Island. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?j ... N_2005.jpg |

It is ex-Rock Island, built in 1939 for one of the Rockets. DM Bird |

So, how much REAL NYC varnish survives? I know steam is very rare. Bill |

Without consulting my research material, I want to say it was for the MN Rocket. It's been over two years since I was looking into it. DM Bird |
