PC 860 |
| Description: |
Constructed by Budd in 1968 for the Pennsylvania Railroad, these cars, state of the art for their time, weren't introduced until after the Penn Central merger. These units came about at the beginning of the push for high speed passenger rail in the Northeast, the predecessors of today's modern trains run by Amtrak. The 860, a snack bar car, is the only Metroliner car that survives today with an original interior and exterior. The majority of units have been converted by Amtrak to non powered cab cars, many of which can be seen operating on Keystone Service trains not far from the Museum. |

| Description: |
Former DL&W MU trailer, built by Barney & Smith in 1912 as a locomotive hauled car and later converted to work with the Lackawanna's electric MUs in the 1930s. While in service in New Jersey, this was a subscription only parlor car where commuters would pay each month for the option to ride in a quieter, more private ride to and from work each day. The Walkersville Southern acquired the coach from New Jersey's United Railroad Historical Society a few years back with plans to restore it for future dinner train operations. |

Originally built as a locomotive hauled coach by Pullman in 1920, it was rebuilt as an MU trailer for service on the DL&W electrified Morris & Essex lines in New Jersey. The faded red and white paint scheme was from New Jersey Transit in an effort to make the equipment appear newer prior to the M&E reelectrification and addition of newer Arrow III MUs into service. |

RDG 9123 |
| Description: |
Two tone green paint now adorns the side of this former electric commuter coach, once operated daily between Philadelphia's Reading Terminal and the railroad's electrified lines through the surrounding suburbs. Number 9123 was constructed by the Harlan & Hollingsworth division of Bethlehem Steel down in Wilmington, DE in 1932. Originally painted green and numbered 867, it was equipped with Taylor style trucks for a smoother ride, which are still retained today. The Reading rebuilt this car at the Reading shops in 1965 with a more modernized interior and a new blue and white paint job, earning it the nickname of Blueliner. The car last saw service for SEPTA in the late 1980s. Some interesting features on the exterior include the end marker lights, and the Reading style "drip strip" over the vestibule doors. The car also retains its headlights on both ends. |

| Description: |
Built by Harlan & Hollingsworth as RDG 870 in 1931 for Philadelphia electrified commuter service, this car was one of the fleet of Blueliners refurbished in the 1960s. Last used as a cab car on SEPTA's wire train, it was purchased by the NHRR for the purpose of a cab car coach on the Warminster Fall Foliage trains. |
