Viewing Album:  Midwest Railway Presveration Qociety: Restoring the Mount Baxter
 
By:George Sillett
Dates:6/5/2011 - 2/4/2011
Album Info:The Mount Baxter was built in 1918 as a very fancy parlor car. Midwest Railway Presveration Sociey(MRPS for short) is currently trying to restore this car to running condition. This photo clbum will cover the restoration of this car. I will post pictures of the car in various stades of restortation all the way up the fully restored. One of the first things we are doing with the car is take the trucks apart, clean them up, and put the car back on its proper trucks.
