BM 1246 |
| Description: |
One of the earliest surviving passenger cars from the Boston & Maine, car 1246 was constructed by Pullman in 1907. Originally used on mainline passenger trains, this car was later bumped to branchline service when steel coaches were acquired. Later moved to maintenance of way service by the railroad, the car was sold to the then upstart Monadnock Steamtown & Northern operation and run on steam powered excursions out of Keene, NH and later Bellows Falls, VT. |

Evidence from the days when B&M 1246 was the property of Steamtown USA, founded by seafood merchant F. Nelson Blount. During its time on Steamtown trains out of Bellows Falls, the car operated over former Rutland Railroad trackage owned by the Green Mountain Railroad. |

Can't find this sort of detail on modern passenger equipment. Pressed into the steel for all to see are the markings of the coach's original owner. |

Another view of the depot museum's former B&M passenger car, now used for special parties and events. Check out that old switch stand complete with lantern on top. |
