That McKeen Trailer in Napa was looked at several years ago by members of the Western Railway Museum. They found the bottom two feet (or more) of the body was buried in cement and decided to pass on acquiring the car body. As I recall, we advised the Nevada State Railroad Museum, which has restored their McKeen passenger car about the body. And the Illinois Railway Museum has a McKeen trailer in their collection.
