Chambersburg & Gettysburg Rail Raod Diner |
| Description: |
Jim Lockart found this unique diner car in Caledonia Park, PA. This interesting Jackson & Sharp built wooden car car was reborn as a diner car by Bill Putch (married to actress Jean Stapleton) who ran the Totem Pole Playhouse in Caldedonia State Park. It was attached to two wood cabooses that served as the kitchen and dishwashing facilities. The dining car was in business between 1981 to the late 1980's before being sold at auction. This car may be owned now by the MA & PA Railway Preservation Society in Muddy Creek Forks, PA. Does anyone know the current disposition of this car? |

DNWP Business Car "Marcia" |
| Description: |
Jim Lockart found this covered display car in Craig, Colorado, while on a visit. This was David Moffet's perions business car while he was a railroad tycoon in the West. The car was purchased in 1906 from the Pullman Company, known for its luxurious sleepers. Richly appointed with leather upholstery and African mahogany, the car cost $24,568. It could sleep twelve people and featured a specially designed dinner table that could seat twelve. Moffat named the car “Marcia” after his daughter. He used it to inspect his railroad line and to interest potential investors. It is owned by the Craig (CO) Chamber of Business and is a protected display in Craig, CO. |

Eureka & Palisades RR Office Car |
| Description: |
Jim Lockart found this unique MOW office car in Ereka, NV. This is a rebuilt Eureka & Palisades RR boxcar that served as some kind of office. The Eurkea & Palisades RR was a narrow gauge short line who serviced several active mining companies in the area of Eureka, NV. Due to several washouts and downturn in nining, the Eureka & Palisades RR was sold at auction in 1912. I'm not sure what purpose this rebult boxcar serves now. Can anyone add to this story? |

Fort Missoula Detention Car |
| Description: |
One of the most unusual slides that Jim Lockart took was this Fort Missoula detention car. Fort Missoula was a WWII "Alien Detention Center" for the non-military Japanese, German and Italian aliens. Between 1941-1944, it held approximately 1200 non-military foreign nationals. This "Alien Detention Center" (ADC) was different from the ten better known "War Relocation Act" camps that held 120,000 Japanese Americans. The car may have been used as additional housing, a detention cell or a library at the camp but not sure about any of these. Can anyone add to this description? |
