I am trying to figure out which ex-Milwaukee Road cars became Habco 212, 213 & 214. Does anyone have any information which may aid in my quest? Based on photos, it appears that car 212 was a 1938 branchline combine, car 213 was a 1938 dining car and car 214 was a 1942 tap-lounge. Justin |

skytop45 - Do these cars still exist? I think I read that Habco was merged into another company, but maybe I'm wrong on that. IF Habco #212 is still around, we'd like to add it to the old Milwaukee Road branchline combine thread here on RyPN. Les |

Les, No idea on whether or not they survive. The photos I have seen show the cars in really rough shape in the late 70's and early 80's. I doubt very much the saw service much longer...Probably got scrapped if Habco went bankrupt. |

At risk of mixing up topics, didn't HABCO have some L&N stainless head end cars.... ETA |
