They never took possession of the real Lion Gardiner, although I believe it is still around and sitting on shop trucks in Ohio as I recall. Instead Colebrookdale have decided to rename another heavyweight car with the same name.

I don't see any indication on their website that the car is not the real Lion Gardiner. This seems like a bizarre choice considering all of the long scrapped dinning cars they could have chosen to "recreate". I have nothing negative to say about the operation but this seems oddly misleading for a 501(c)3.

Meanwhile the real car sits.
