MGA 67 on display at The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania at
Strasburg. On most weekends there is a Friends of the Railroad Museum interpretor on
hand and the caboose is open for inspection. A report indicates this car was donated
to the Smithsonian Institution and is only being stored at Strasburg. August, 1997.Photo by T.W.Wolfgang (42k) | |

MGA 901, 902 and 903 acquired when CR absorbed the Monongahela. This is not a true Conrail class, these cars were assigned to MOW service without renumbering. 901 and 903 have slightly different designs, I don't have any info on 902 at this time. MGA 64-73 were built by International Car, Kenton, OH in 1949. They were MGA's only steel cars until the 901,902 and 903 were purchased from C&NW. All of the other cars were sold off or donated to museums prior to Conrail control. Thanks to David Hamley for much of this information. |

| All Scales The bay window types are ex C&NW, anyone have any articles on their cars? They look very similar to the N-7D and N-7E Conrail clases. The cupola cars are similar to the ex NH NE-6 class. Any additional info would be appreciated. | ||
