Railroad Post Office

Description:  I do not seem to have gotten a good shot of the exterior of this car, but judging by the museum website, it was probably N&W 93, built by the Bethlehem Steel Car Company in 1937.

Virginian 4
Title:  Virginian 4
Description:  In 1957, it was retired and donated to the city of Princeton, West Virginia. Unfortunately, vandals got to it in front of the courthouse, where it was displayed. Thankfully, the Norfolk & Western traded a caboose for it 3 years later and fixed up the engine at their shops before donating it to the museum, where it is still preserved today!
