A new day a new railcar

Like a butterfly emerging from it's cocoon, or appropriately on the day before Easter Sunday, an old wooden passenger car, possibly as old as 1860, has additions torn from it to reveal itself, and begin a new life. (after years of restoration to come)

    Imagine what this train car could tell us! And how wonderful it will be when it's back to it's glory days!

    Andrew, sorry to have missed your comment. The question is what to restore it to. Late 1860's Central Pacific passenger car? NWP Passenger car (That's what I think, but what era?)) or NWP Maintenance of Way car. The last would be the easiest, also the least interesting. We may have located some trucks, that would be great.
