It's kept at Union Station along with several other private cars including one from the Hocking Valley. Unfortunately I don't know the number but I'll try to get it for you.
The Car from the Hocking Valley is really a Missouri P Obvs Car 11. Once on the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway untill sold in the 1980's. Do you happen to have photos of this car?
Yes, I have pictures of this car. Unfortunately my filing system isn't what it should be(there isn't one) and I haven't found them yet. As Soon as I do I'll contact you.
All of the private cars that were stored at MLK Plaza in Toledo are gone. One supposedly was sold to Ohio Central, while another was moved to Grand Rapids, MI. I don't know about the disposition of the others. Reason that I heard was that storage fees were raised to an exhorbitant level, in order to get rid of the cars. Apparently that tactic, if true, was successful.
