This bagage car and 2 of its identical sisters were sold to MNCR on its inception in 1983 one went to wreck train, one went to wire train and one was spare (in Harmon I believe) the spare car was scrapped, the wire train one ended at Danbury railway museum and third is a figment of mr.bruckers imagination in GCT where it sits rotting away. The blue and reporting mark had nothing to do with militairy but was added at North White plains shop in 1984/5 when car was pained and restocked and trucks serviced. |
