Is the Lehigh and New England business car still at the New Jersey restaurant? And what car is with it?

L&NE was at a restaurant in Pennsylvania, not New Jersey. About 10 years ago someone bought it and has it trucked out, supposedly to be restored. It has been off the radar since then. I would love to have an update on its fate.

Information on the whereabouts of L&NE 100 has been posted on other forums. I dont feel it's appropriate to mention the owners name here without prior consent, but the car is in a collection in Windber, PA. Some research by satalite and it shouldn't take you too long to figure out where she is.

Anyone with interest in the Windber, PA rolling stock accumulation should know that the previous owner sold the entire facility to a scrap dealer in early 2023. When I last visited there about 5 years ago the business car was indoors. But I've heard that there was a lot of break-ins and vandalism in recent years, so beware.

It looks a little better now than it did a year ago.

I remember hearing about the Lehigh and New England business car being at a restaurant in Pennsylvania too, but wasn't aware of the recent updates. It's a shame to hear about the break-ins and vandalism. I do hope the car is now in better hands at the Everett Railroad. Thanks for sharing this information; it's interesting to follow the journey of such a unique piece of train history. Looking at the Facebook update, it certainly seems like they're making some positive changes to it.
