"03-MG_7359.jpg" - image/jpeg, 1600x1067 (24bit)

Attached is a photo of Erie 87255 on display on the grounds of the restored
1884-vintage Castanea depot near Lock Haven, PA. This is along an
abandoned section of the former NY Central "Beach Creek" railroad. An
article was posted to the list in 2011 when the car was moved to this site
but I don't believe a photo was ever shared. I was in the area recently
photographing the soon to disappear position light signals on NS' former
PRR Buffalo Line and this was along the way.

According the the 2011 article, With the assistance of John Gummo of Beech
Creek, the historical society acquired an Erie AAR single-door 87255, built
by the General American Car Company in January of 1953. It was one of only
499 built, and is the only one still intact.

In addition to the restored station and this box car, there is a PRR
caboose on sight as well as an informational kiosk built to resemble an
early 20th Century wooden water tank.

If you are traveling on Interstate 80 through Pennsylvania this car is
about 8 miles north of Exit 178 (220 North) on Bridge Street in Castanea.
