The WS recently acquired another LIRR commuter car, this one from the AC&J in Ohio, for use as a cafe car on future excursions. Look closely, on this side one can find marks for three other railroad besides AC&J, including Long Island Railroad, Steamtown Foundation, and the Knox & Kane. |

End view of the car reveals the old owl eyed style windows long associated with the Pennsylvania Railroad. No surprise there as this car was in service on Long Island at a time when PRR controlled the LIRR. |
