Don't assume that everyone knows that ASRY are the reporting marks for the Ashland Railway in Ohio.

Um, what "N&W steam engine" are we referring to? The 4-6-2 at Worthington? I thought 578 was headed to JJJ's stable...

Anyone know the history of this car? When did the Ashland get it? Found some other pics of it but no history. Wonder what the selling price was.
