I was part of an inspection trip in 2008 to look at this car and the LV parlor. Both were in good shape, but what a shame they landlocked the cars over a rather short section of track. Getting them back out will be tough.

Attached are a few shots of 300 inside and out from somewhere in mid-late 2008.

Photos of the former EL 300 were posted to the list back in 2003, Joshua posted them and these comments,,,,

Here, at long last, are some pictures of ex D&H and EL business car
#300. This car is parked in Cooperstown, NY adjacent to the offices
and headquarters of the Delaware Otsego System, operators of the
NYSW. The car was formerly used by the company as offices and also
Mr. Walter Rich lived in the car for a time.

Its lettered "DELAWRE OTSEGO SYSTEM " across the top with "ERIE
LACKAWANNA" visible beneath if you get the light just right, and is
named "FRANKLIN LAKES." Car number is CACV 2 and the number 300 in
Conrail blue is visible (see picture). Interior is in very good
shape. The car is landlocked, and is equipped with plumbing, phones,
and electric. There's a TV in the dining area. Rooms are all set up
for guests, which sometimes use the car, especially during Baseball
Hall of Fame induction weekend when every hotel for miles is booked.

I will try to get some better pictures when the weather improves.
