Back in early February was a Tuesday tidbit about the Nevada California Oregon Railroad’s Lakeview car. At the time, I noted my notes were not handy, and they still are not. I am just not mentally prepared to sift through my extensive NCO file that date backs to the 1970s.
Anyhow, the following was relayed to me. The Lakeview was originally a narrow gauge car owned by the Union Pacific which was used as a business car. The Union Pacific converted it to standard gauge. When the NCO purchased it from the Union Pacific, at the NCO’s Reno shop the Lakeview was once converted back again to narrow gauge.

As to the above passenger car it was sold to the Huckleberry Railroad, a narrow gauge railroad near Flint, Michigan where it was restored and put into use. This is a tourist railroad that operates in summer months.

This old car was parked next to Alda Riesenman’s house in Wendel and was used as a residence for the teacher until the early 50’s. Known as The Teachers Car.
