Seaboard Jim Crow Combination Baggage-Coach Number 259

During the Florida East Coast Railway Society 2008 Convention in Miami, there was a Bus Trip on September 27, 2008 to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami. The GCRRM is located at 12450 South West 152nd Street, next to the Miami Zoo. All of the FECRS Members, who attended the Convention Bus Trip, were given a CAB Ride on the FEC E8A, which Railfans affectionately refer to as a Covered Wagon.

 

This photo shows Seaboard "Jim Crow" Combine (aka: Baggage/Coach) Number 259 on display at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami. The Coach Section was divided into 2 identical sections, one for Whites and one for Blacks (aka: Segregation). It was routinely use between Tampa and Venice, Florida and served as a connecting train to the Silver Meteor at Tampa Union Station.
