Existing B&O passenger cars and locos

What still exists and where of any B&O passenger equip?

There is a B&O observation car near the main line at Hyndman, PA.

We have a B&O heavyweight baggage car we use for tool storage and as a workshop at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. Plans are to paint it in the late Royal Blue scheme as time and funds permit.

Theres a B&O coach at Strasburg Railroad and one at the former Blue Mountain & Reading Railroad in Hamburg, Pa.

Len.

I happen to own B&O 7600 MOONLIGHT DOME. The car is currently at Avalon Rail in West Allis, WI.

SUNLIGHT DOME is currently at Gateway Rail (formerly IL Transit Assembly) outside St. Louis.

STARLIGHT DOME is in Southern California.

Central New York Chapter of NRHS owns a former B&O baggage / buffet / chair car that they keep at the New York State Fairgrounds just outside Syracuse.

There is a heavyweight baggage car in the Buffalo & Pittsburgh's Riker yard. Looks like it's being used for storage. Still in the B&O passenger colors, although very faded and rusty.

There is an old B&O Alco S4 diesel switcher at Cass, WEst Virginia, it was B&O #470, Chessie #9010, and South Branch Valley Railroad # 17. It's sister, B&O #469 is also there, albiet it a SBVRR paint scheme. Both are deteriorating and neglected.

Speaking of the former B&O heavywieght in Hamburg, Does anybody know who owns it?

Opequon still is in revenue service for AOE I think it is now named Washington

In Fort Washington PA (outside Philadelphia) a Subway Hogie shop operates with two B&O heavyweights that were placed there in the late 60"S. Just an FYI I have no information on these cars, appear to be in nice shape overall, some modifications to them. I do remember them at a siding near the Reading Company station, then they were towed down the street on flat beds and placed at the then Coach Inn . Was three now only two!

Private car MOONLIGHT DOME arrived Philadelphia 30th Street Station on Amtrak # 40, The Three Rivers, on Sunday 10/24/2004, having traversed former B&O mileage in Indiana and Ohio.

Car is currently parked on track 30 at Penn Coach Yard. It departs on Amtrak Regional # 67 for Washington on Thursday 10/28, then onward to Charlotte on #79, The Carolinian, later that morning.

Ex B&O F7-A #293A (#4553 after 1957), is now MARC #7100. Converted to an APCU recently, is used by MARC commuter as a cab on the Brunswick line and NEC. I have seen her many times. below is some info

STARLIGHT DOME or SANTA FE PLAZA, has been seen several times on the Coast Starlight. I suspect it was SANTA FE PLAZA, however, last I heard STARLIGHT DOME was either not roadworthy or under reconstruction.

I rode AOE last year, Opequon is indeed in one of their consists renamed Monte Carlo. That car was originally assigned to the Cap, but also saw few miles on 19 & 20 and may have even been on 1 & 2 for a while.
