Post subject:  GN Wood/Steel coach to a good home

[img]Hello.
A friend has preserved a Great Northern ~60' wood coach from the Great Northern, converted to steel sides and probably steel center sill at some point. He no longer can retain this car and is looking for a good home in preservation, preferably somewhere that might operate the car. It comes with great bones and good maintenance since out of service as a drovers car, with about 1/4 the original seats present. Friction/solid bearings and located in northwestern Montana. If you are interested, contact me by PM and I will forward his info. The car is for sale for $1.00 to the right party.
Thank you.
