Thanks for the observation. As far as we can tell, the car is the " second (unpowered) dummy " that private individuals in Grafton purchased in December 1875. It appears identical to the original steam-powered dummy that the railroad used when it opened, of course with the exception of the powered portion of the cab. I can dig up a picture of the original steam-powerd dummy for comparison purposes if it would help...
