Re: Orange Empire Railway Museum

Just an interesting side note. For those unaware of it, SVRy has an "Emma" coach. This a recent name for the 1890's wood frame coach originally built for the Utah Northern. She was purchased by the SVRy from the UP when they purchased and std. gauged the UN. After SVRR found the coach 1980's it was in two pieces. The story is that it was used as a wood shed and a chicken coop, although I have heard other version of this story, they all say she was in two pieces.
Funding was found to renovate the coach, #20, and in honor of the donor she was named the "Emma Eccles Jones" car after the late daughter of the founder of the SVRy, David Eccles. I have photos of Emma, but I have no web space available to post them. Maybe Taylor, Casey or someone else have photos of Emma to share. I have never seen photos of her before reassembly.
