I have no connection, other than I saw this interesting thread on X: https://x.com/isaacfrench_/status/1823723454572716408? story of discovery, recovery and rebuilding of WI&M car 306 into a stay location. Apparently near Deary, ID. Bob |

The Daily Fail turned the Twitter thread into an article: EXCLUSIVE Idaho plumber transforms 120-year-old cat-infested train wreck - and it's making him a fortune |

Does the video mentioned above show details of the restoration? Looks pretty bad when they first got it, I'd be curious to see how they handled things like the ends of the cars. I understand they're not claiming it's restored to as built condition, nor is it designed for operations, but it would be interesting to see the techniques. |
