Here, at long last, are some pictures of ex D&H and EL business car 
#300.  This car is parked in Cooperstown, NY adjacent to the offices 
and headquarters of the Delaware Otsego System, operators of the 
NYSW.  The car was formerly used by the company as offices and also 
Mr. Walter Rich lived in the car for a time.  

Its lettered "DELAWRE OTSEGO SYSTEM " across the top with "ERIE 
LACKAWANNA" visible beneath if you get the light just right, and is 
named "FRANKLIN LAKES."  Car number is CACV 2 and the number 300 in 
Conrail blue is visible (see picture).  Interior is in very good 
shape.  The car is landlocked, and is equipped with plumbing, phones, 
and electric.  There's a TV in the dining area.  Rooms are all set up 
for guests, which sometimes use the car, especially during Baseball 
Hall of Fame induction weekend when every hotel for miles is booked.

I will try to get some better pictures when the weather improves.
