Photographed May 1980 in Port Jefferson.
Anyone know the story behind this car ? Why was it there, does it still exist today ?

Jerry Laboda's Passenger Car Photo Index has it under Pullman as "Night Trail". The photo link is to George Elwood's RR- Fallen Flags where he has it as AMSC and shows a 1985 picture also at Port Jeff. AMSC is not a listed AAR reporting mark. Steve Lynch's TrainsAreFun has a 1986 picture at the bottom of the page and describes it as a private car belonging to Al Coleman. Searching for his name brought up this RYPN thread. The post dated Sat Feb 14, 2015 10:48 pm has 2 quotes mentioning the car and a picture link. The post then says that it was "sold to NYNH&H #758 (1948) sold to Jack Ferris-Private RR Cars, Inc. (1955*) sold to Al Coleman (when??) sold to RBMN #2 and renamed Lehigh Gorge (1st) (when??) renamed Hickory Creek** (when??)".
