Nostalgia & History > Old passenger car at Parkville, MODate: 06/29/11 20:02 Old passenger car at Parkville, MO Author: JoCoLB I photographed this old passenger car in downtown Parkville, Mo., today while there to observe the potential flood situation along the Missouri River. Anyone know the history of this particular car.\? It's part of a restaurant-bar business that has different owners through the years. former Missouri Pacific caboose is on the opposite of the main building.I noticed today that the business was closed. I was unable to talk to the owner-operator.

At least that is what it was painted as 7 years ago and that paint was old then. At that time it was a Mexican restaurant.
