As Kevin said, this is B&O #97, which was built at the same time as B&O #98, which is now owned by TVRM as the Eden Isle. The "Private Passenger Car Annual" from 1980 lists that at the time the #97 was owned by Mrs. D.B. Boothe of Sonora, CA, as the Catherine Boothe, and that it was stored on the Sierra Railroad in Jamestown, CA. Stan Garner's #800xxx-series roster lists that the #97 at some point had #800060 applied. |
