[CBQ] CB&Q 4716 Silver Bridle

["Allan B. Huskins Jr." <allan@californiazephyr.org>]

For those interested, Silver Bridle was in New Orleans during the hurricane, 
but apparently 
made it through all right.  I was informed that the water got as high as the 
bearings and it 
will need new wheelsets, but that is all.

The Silver Bridle was acquired last year by the Mt. Dora & Lake Eustis Railway 
(a Florida 
operation), which had the car in New Orleans for refurbishing. However, their 
website (http://
mtdorarailway.com) now says they are closed down. I don't know if the weather 
got them, or 
it's financial or what.  Not sure if it's permanent either. I don't know what 
this might mean for 
the future of Silver Bridle.

Does anyone have any info?
