| Post subject: | Surviving narrow vestibule cars |
From what I've been able to piece together from my limited research material, there was a short period about 1890 where a narrow vestibule between cars was used... basically as a transition from open platforms to the full width vestibules used later. I'm wondering how many of these cars survived. B&O "Royal Blue Line" 445 is at the B&O museum. Originally built for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western about 1890, in 1927 it was rebuilt to represent a Royal Blue Line car: https://x.com/borailmuseum/status/1275036517396865024 Mid-Continent lists Soo Line 920 from 1893: https://www.midcontinent.org/equipment-roster/wooden-passenger-cars/soo-line-920/ Any others? Thanks, Bob |
