| Post subject: | Shasta Daylight cars on Craigslist |
A cross post from the Webmaster on TO's - Thought it was worth a heads up: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/clt/4556725592.html Four former Southern Pacific Railroad coaches for sale. These are real railroad cars that were built for the Southern Pacific "Shasta Daylight" train. Two were built in 1949 and two were built in 1954. Prices vary from $15,000.00 to $23,000.00. Cars can move by rail. Great restoration projects. Use for storage, model railroad room, vacation cabin, or restore and run on the railroad. /Mitch |
