In what is most likely the last paragraph of the last chapter of the saga of the artifacts that were sold for use elsewhere, Rock Island PS-1 5830 arrived in Barton, Maryland this afternoon and established residence on George's Creek Railway.

Glad to hear. It'll be a useful shop car.

Hopefully she'll get her Rock Island lettering put back on.

Any chance it will be repainted as a Western Maryland PS-1 boxcar?

I would never paint a non-WM car in a WM paint scheme.

With recollections of insurance company commercials of a bygone era, the admonition to "get a piece of the Rock" applies, especially to someone in railroad preservation. CRIP 5830 will always be CRIP 5830.

It will look right at home with my 1915 and 1916 Pullman Standard =WM= ballast hoppers and a steam era caboose (1830).
