Good call, Al. You're right, in that was a C&NW car, that and the Boonton
cars went to the Valley Railroad in Essex, Ct. Even the 2-6-2 went there,
now part of the Railraod Museum of New England collection. That CNW combine
was repatriated by the Mid-Continent museum which did a wonderful restoration
that even the C&NW historical society loved enough to feature in its world
class magazine.
