Newport diner train, ex-LIRR coach #?

[trainspot]

I'm a former Long Islander and hear the Newport diner train has a former LIRR car, now named "Roberta G. Mosher". Would anyone know its LIRR number? Thanks in advance!

Newport bought two Budd cars in 2007 from the Wilton Scenic Railroad when that line, sadly, shut down in 2005 due to the death of it's owner.

I do not know if this confirm or denies your original supposition

The last car in the picture sure looks like one of the LIRR's old diesel fleet. The road number might still be somewhere on the trucks, or inside (if they didn't gut the inside). It would be a 27XX or a 29XX number.

This is P72 #2943, sold 4/2000 and received 7/20/2000.
