I'm sure one of the members of the group can chime in with more about where on MNRR this one ran, but this is the interior of Conway Scenic RDC #23, which according to a short history provided for a 2013 Boston and Maine RR Historical Society flyer, this was #18 on MNRR. Not sure if it was WOH though.

Been a long time, obviously, but I don't remember the Budd cars having seats like that. In my memory they were vinyl-upholstered walkover benches like on the ACMUs and the NJT Jersey Arrows.
