"It's an archeological site on wheels," senior curator Brad Smith said. Built in 1906 by Barney & Smith Co. of Dayton, Ohio, the wooden, 82-foot-long three-compartment car may be the last of its kind. A tasteful, well-appointed lounge car, No. 35 was later furnished with its own smoking and baggage sections. The combine carried passengers for 43 years before it was put to work transporting workers and hauling equipment. It ended up in storage for a few decades in Gettysburg. When it was acquired by the Strasburg museum in 1997, it was sealed in plywood and left untouched for another 13 years.

For those who don't feel like clicking through, the car is former Buffalo & Susquehanna wooden combine 35, built in 1906 and one of only 16 B&S passenger cars.

I presume the Museum (or its Friends) got it from the Gettysburg RR and/or the Cornells. Does anyone have a clue how/where/when it got where between its retirement in 1949 and Gettysburg?
