On display in Nay Aug Park is this passenger car from The Pennsylvania Coal Co.'s gravity railroad. Although primarily a coal carrier, passengers could ride cars like this one. These cars last saw service when the Erie RR turned the Gravity into a conventional steam railroad.
The track underneath is starting to shift a little, causing the entire car to flex and bow. It should really be somewhere a little more stable, out of the elements. The amazing thing is that another car has been conserved and is on display in Hamlin. Both of them potentially 160 years of age and still around.
