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.

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.

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!

STARLIGHT DOME is in Southern California.

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.
