Hi Ralph,
The combine had been in Portland under a tarp due to roof damage, this was part of what was rebuilt at Maine Locomotive & Machine Works. The coach was at the SR&RL in Phillips for a few years and received some work there. It was brought to the WW&F for MNG to do additional repair work so it could go to Portland for the Christmas trains. As of Sunday evening 11/22, both cars are back in Portland.
