Car-side detail.

Atlantic City Railroad wood coach #72 was built by Jackson & Sharp in 1889. The WK&S acquired the car from the Ironton Railroad around 1963. The car first served as a museum, but is now home to the Schuylkill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club. The car is located right behind Kempton station. The HO scale model railroad is open to the public on most days the big train is running. In 2012 the car received a new paint scheme as shown above. Previously the car had the cream and brown scheme shown below. For much more information about this car's history and the model railroad club go to my SLMRR Club page.
