Hi Ted,

I assume you are referring to the oldest narrow gauge passenger car in the US specifically and not the whole world.

The Festiniog Railway in Wales has four 4-wheel passenger cars still in service (FR numbers 2-5) that are said to date from 1863, and the Talyllyn Railway's original passenger cars (TR numbers 1-4) date from 1866-1867.
