Unfortunate to hear one of not both cars on the B&ML have been scrapped, but understandable. Perhaps the converted baggage car could have been converted back if one was dedicated enough, which would have (mostly) eliminated the need for an intact interior.
What line in NJ is the Herald Square on, and are there any pictures available online? I'd absolutely love to see the car. A number would be fantastic as well if you happened to have one handy.
It is quite remarkable that there are still so many unknowns and so little known to still be around. Considering all types of equipment, passenger, freight cars, and locomotives, relative to western roads there seems to be just not much from New England left at all. If you look at the number of Santa Fe steam locomotives, for example, still around, it seems like there's an endless supply into the dozens for that road alone. Whereas with New England, you can just about count on both hands the number of true New England steam locomotives left.
