It was offered to Danbury Railway Museum a few years back right after 9/11, homeland security wanted the car out because of security concerns.The FRA allowed a one time waiver if brakes worked,even if they were out of date. DRM sat on idea without ever responding, and car is still there. It is of no use for MNCR operations, all material inside was for the double ended crane which resieds at Danbury railway Museum. As a side note, any car used for car transport was equipped with end doors that could accomodate a car over coupler end, this car does not have this. the door on side is hardly big enough to have a smart two for two make the turn, no way a presidential Limo would have fit. |
