EAST CHICAGO, Ind. — The Norfolk & Western Business Car 300 Preservation Society unveiled the restored car on Saturday with an open house at repair and maintenance firm Professional Locomotive Services. Along with tours of the car — built in 1917 and modernized in 1955 — and displays of PLS equipment, visitors were treated to free food (hot dogs and hamburgers), photographer Bruce Stahl reports.
More information on the car is available at the Society’s website. The group, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, also continues to seek donations to support its educational and operational efforts.
