DNWP Business Car "Marcia"
Title:  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.
