What equipment is at Raymond, NH?

Can anyone elaborate on what "old locomotive car" is displayed at Raymond, New Hampshire? It has been the recent target of vandals.

I was over there the other day.....They have a wee Plymouth, an ex-PRR caboose, and a nice-looking reefer. Didn't stop, so I can't give you particulars

Looks like a cute place, found their website.

Not much info on their equipment, nor info about their location, for non locals.

Love that MDT reefer!

There's a nice BAR reefer restored in Concord, NH plus Roger Robar's BAR reefer-turned-vacation house in North Conway. Who knew NH would have so many nice reefers?

Rob:

I checked their website and found only a partial (in the background) photo of their MDT refer. We have two MDT steel refers at our museum; one also has a NYC herald. Would be interested in the number off of the MDT refer at Raymond if you have it. Thanks.

For those interested, Raymond is a small town east of Manchester, NH on the abandoned Portsmouth branch. The equipment sits on a fragment of track in "downtown" Raymond in front of the station. This part of town has been bypassed twice by the main east-west highway, but is easily accesible. Take NH route 101 and get off at exit 4 and take the "business loop" or similarly named road.
The Portsmouth branch had a number of small stations as shown on my road atlas, some of which may still be around. Most notably Rockingham Junction on the Newmarket/Newfields town line. It's on the former B&M main line and is undergoing restoration.
