| The Passaic River is a buffet-lounge car capable of seating 8 passengers in parlor chairs, 24 passengers in six booths, and 8 more passengers in lounge seating. The Passaic River was built in 1948 as Santa Fe dining car. In 1971, the car was sold to Amtrak, and later reconfigured to become buffet-lounge #3106. The Morristown & Erie Railway acquired the car in the early 2000s and renamed it Penobscot Bay, and it served until 2015 on the M&E-owned Maine Eastern Railroad along Maine's Mid-Coast region. In 2016, the car was moved to New Jersey and renamed Passaic River, and it is now operated by the Morristown & Erie Railway and based at the railroad’s private car storage facility in Whippany, NJ. |
