Yes- if Galesburg falls thru (no response yet) I personally would 
like it to stay in "Granger Country" and if that fails, someplace 
that will maintain it. Following is from owner: "Mt. Lyell" is a 
full size Pullman (Solarium Lounge) car.  It is about 80' long.  It 
was built to Pullman plan 3521, Lot 4816, in October 1924.  It was 
placed in the general service pool.  In 1948 it was sold to the CB&Q 
and leased back to Pullman.  This was when the Justice Department 
broke up the control of Pullman.  In almost all cases the cars were 
sold to the railroads where the car was being used.  The number #676 
was added at that time, and later changed to #644.  In March 1954 it 
was withdrawn from the lease arrangement and eventually became work 
car 251166.  It now has the number 968029n (BN MoW #).  It is a 10 
section sleeper.  The car still has most of its sleeping sections.  
The solarium seating area was converted to a kitchen for maintenance 
service, but this can be removed.  The car has 6 wheel friction 
bearing trucks.  The body is in pretty good condition with very 
little rust.  Glass windows need to be replaced.  The car is sitting 
in the railroad yard at the McCloud Railroad in Northern California 
with BN & UP (SP) connections.  The buyer will have to remove the 
car from there.  This car would make a beautiful restoration project.
