Re: Surviving SPNG cars?

Grant,
I dont have the information with me at the moment. But I have Herman Darr's list of SP survivng rolling stock that he could identify last time he was down there. There were a lot of things moved around or changed hands.
If I remember right caboose 2 is in Orange, CA along with the charred frame of caboose 467. It is owned by Bob Babcock I believe. I am sure someone will correct me on this.
I have not heard about a third tin box, or the coach you mentioned.. Which I think as one of the ones that went to the NCNG. Which in turn was burned for the iron when the RR shut down.
Herman and I are planning a trip to the Owens Valley this summer so maybe we can meet up and try to get all of these cars found.
Email me and I will get a copy of the list for you. Also note that a lot of the info I have on NGSL for the SPNG comes from Herman's list. I think I have all of the complete cars listed. Bodies are another story
