Post subject:  Wooden Passenger Cars?

Hi..
A pair of wooden passenger cars that appeared to be narrow gauge, were seen on a pair of flatbed trucks, headed east thru St Louis, Tues 9/3.

Does anyone know where they are going, what they are and who they belong to? The truck line appeared to be from out west. Thanks in advance!

I would guess that they are the two EBT cars rescued from Colorado by the FEBT.

They were former EBT combine 18 & Baggage-Mail 29, purchased by the Friends of the East Broad Top at the July 20 auction of the Sundown & Southern, Ft. Lupton, CO,. They arrived safely in Rockhill Furnace Thursday, September 5. The EBTRR has graciously provided temporary covered storage.

That's great, I was worried about the "tarp to protect" idea.
