In Minerva Ohio, there is (or was) a heavyweight business car stored at the OHI-Rail yard. It was built by Pullman in 1916 for the Nevada Northern and later served DL&W, EL and LIRR. The photos I have show the car in what appears to be red primer paint. Please see the bottom two photos on this page: http://www.dominionrailvoyages.com/jhd/ ... auket.html

This car used to be owned by the late Porter Collins. I think the owner as of early 2009 is William D. Barclay.

However, a friend said he thought this heavyweight private car was one of several pieces of equipment owned by the defunct Steam Railroad Museum which were sold at auction earlier this year to Jerry Jacobsen.

Can anyone clarify?
