That's so neat.  But, if memory serves, our Society helped with some drawings and such; did we get a mention on Facebook (I'm not on it)? Or something?  I don't recall if we charged for anything, but.....

According to my notes, this car was built in June 1917 and was originally USRA #51; in March 1920 is became N&W 300; it was rebuilt and streamlined in September 1955; it received new paint and named Roanoke in October 1977 and was renumbered NS 5 by December 1985.  I have no information about the car after that date.

Hey everyone! 
Here’s a neat article about the former NW 300 Roanoke restoration nearly complete. They’re supposed to letter and stripe it today, with an open house this weekend, in East Chicago, Indiana.
