One more exists on Pacific Ave in Seaview but it has been enclosed in a structure with a roof. Two carter coaches formerly in Seaview were moved by the same person who donated the N10 to the Ilwaco museum. The cars collapsed into a heap when he tried to move them onto a lowboy so he salvaged what he could. A door and the end panel with the car number was donated to the Carter Bros Historical Society in Ardenwood. I collected square nails from the bonfire to clean up the mess. One plywood mockup containing pieces of the cars was donated after the death of the owner and may be in Willits, California now. I surveyed the combine car on the dunes over 10 years ago to see if it was salvageable--too far gone with little original wood remaining.
