Thanks for posting the photos and keeping an eye out on the cars! The Mount Baxter is a Pullman solarium lounge car with berths in it and an end lounge area. Ken McCown, MRPS Board Member and Volunteer Coordinator

Have they left Willard yet? Any idea of routing between Willard and Dennison.

Thanks.

Hi Guys
Yes the cars left the same evening they came into Willard
They arrived at 1pm on the rear of Q 371 and stopped to switch the yard and departed Willard at 6pm the same evening

90 was built for the Nickel Plate by Pullman in 1930. Midwest Railway bought NKP 62 and 90 around 1960 directly from the NKP and have owned them for that whole time. Both cars are still lettered Nickel Plate Railroad inside and out. 90 needs a paint job and when we do it we plan to keep the Nickel Plate Railroad lettering on it. C&TV is the reporting mark for Cleveland and Terminal Valley Railroad, Midwest Railway Preservation Society owns the corporate name.
