Built 1931 by the Pressed Steel Company for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, it was sold shortly thereafter to the Chicago and Great Western due to declining Depression-era passenger revenues. Chicago and Great Western and successor Chicago and North Western, continued to use it until the 1970’s, where it ended it life in commuter service. It is classified as a “combine” because the coach combines passenger seating with a baggage area. The draft gear and much of the vestibule has been structurally rebuilt and updated under the direction of SRI in order to make it roadworthy. Currently, it is used as our tool and crew car for #1225 during our steam excursions.
