Dan,
The little I know about B&G #100 is that it arrived on the B&G in April, 1911. The builder is unknown, but possibly Pullman since it had Pullman Standard trucks. Kennecott Copper donated it to the Pioneer Villiage Museum at Corinne, UT in the early 60s. Very little else is known about the car, but I'd guess, judging from its small size, that it spent a lot of time giving tours of the Bingham Pit to high-rollers.
