NCBX 103
Title:  NCBX 103
Description:  This passenger car has reporting marks NCBX 103 and is painted as Massachusetts Central "Spirit of America". It is sitting in Ridgefield Park this morning on the NYS&W siding. I found this excerpt about it on the Northern Central Railway website: "this car was originally built as a 26-seat lunch counter car and has the longest bar of any railroad car in the world. Originally CN #433, the car was transferred to VIA Rail in 1983, where it served passengers in the Canadian Maritime Provinces. In the late 1980s, the car was used in Boston-Hyannis service on the Cape Cod and Hyannis Railroad. In 1989, Classic Rail Cars purchased the car when this service was discontinued." I don't know where it has been since then though...
