Following up on one of our favorite subjects, railroad cars turned into roadside diners, a long-time reader sent us the link to this site:
Two of these diners were already on our own list, with some of the same pictures, but this site has more. I was especially struck by the picture of an IT Class B in wartime paint pulling a train of El cars at the ACF plant in St. Charles, Mo. Read the whole thing, as they say.
Randy,
ReplyDeleteTwo of the WWII Richmond cars are in the collection of the Western Railway Museum. Cars #561 and #563 were built by Gilbert & Bush in 1887.
Another wood Elevated car from New York is at the Shore Line Trolley Museum Now Money Car G, it was built by Gilbert & Bush in 1878. As shown in the picture, they were hauled by steam locomotives in their early years.
