| << Previous | Making a station stop is the former Fernwood,
Columbia and Gulf Railroad's motorcar, number M4. She is
presently undergoing restoration, and is in operation at the
Southern Forest Heritage Museum located in Longleaf,
Louisiana. She was donated to the museum some years ago by
railfan and historian Louis Saillard. The museum sports a
large oval of track running around the perimeter of the compound,
and they like to run the motorcar on special occasions. This photograph was recorded in April of 2011. The restoration of the car had slowed considerably for a number of years. However volunteers have been quite busy recently in the process. She now has glazing in her windows, and much work has occurred in the interior with a new roof liner and a new permanent dashboard for the operator. The exterior sports a new air-horn and rear view mirrors. |
