What ever happened to the abandoned R-6 car, number 983, that was sitting for years (used as a storage shed) in Jacksonville, FL? I heard it got bought and moved to somewhere in North Carolina, but that was a long while ago. What's the current status on that car?Craggy Moutain Line Bill Newkirk |

There was an interesting thread here 10 years ago about the car at United Housewreckers in Stamford.1144? In the thread our beloved friend Kevin (SelkirkTMO) describes how cars were renumbered to improve the performance stats for cars and shops. |

Yeah, I remember seeing #1144 there in Stamford, Connecticut during the 1980's back then. Where is that car now? It was sold, and shipped to the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre in England as their lunchroom cafeteria for the museum there.-William A. Padron ["1144"] |
