Mid-Continent Railway Museum has in it's collection a SOO Line passenger car with narrow vestibules. I have never personally seen any other cars with this vestible design. Are there any other preserved cars out there with narrow vestibules? Thanks in advance for any info. Allan SOO 920  ddg14@attbi.com |

Allan, The B&O "Royal Blue" car in Baltimore is a wonderful example. Rob Ahead of the Torch trains@robertjohndavis.com |

The car is for sure a narrow-vestibule coach of 1890s vintage, and it's currently painted to represent or "stand in" for an original Royal Blue trainset car... eledbetter@rypn.org |
