[CBQ] Another mystery railroad car discovery

[MICHAEL PANNELL <michael.pannell@btinternet.com>]

Just as we have another full page article printed by our friendly Wyoming 
Tribune newspaper, another railroad car comes to light in Cheyenne.  driven 
past the house many times, but not sen the 60ft wooden passenger car enclosed 
in the back yard !  We have yet to discover its history however the signs lead 
me to believe that its a C&S car, we are going to uncover the number tomorrow. 
It has arched end door posts and no end opening ventilators which lead me to 
think that its earlier than our 1887 car, it appaers to have painted tin lower 
deck ceilings which is curious as well. The very friendly owners have already 
donated some parts that we are missing on ours so we are benefitting from this 
find as well.
News on our car is that we are still $1500 short of our wood target but we have 
ordered the material anyway. We have also finally fitted the 'new' door to the 
west end of the car rescued and restored from C&S 525 (although its not 
original to this car either !) so she looks much more railroad-ish now.
Hope some of you can make it to see us on Saturday once again the address is 
3633 Christensen rd Cheyenne 82009
