We are inquiring on the whereabouts of FEC Office Car # 95 which was in the Station Complex in Wilkes-Barre, PA. On or about Wednesday, January 16, the car was seen being loaded and subsequently moving south on Interstate Route 81. The name on the truck was Knarr. Does anybody know where this car is going to?

Not confirmed, but I believe it is headed for the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami.

A shame the old Reading & Columbia line through Ephrata was torn up!

I had previously misidentified this car on RYPN as the ex Rock Island "Rockmarge" which later went on to be the FEC "Randleigh." I would love to know what happened to Rockmarge in Wilkes-Barre.

PS: previous articles stated the county was to get just under $20K for the car
