Market St. Rwy "California Comfort Car" 798
This car, the only "California Comfort Car" in existence, was built by MSRy in its Elkton Shops in 1924.
It was retired by Muni in 1946, and went to the Sierra Foothills town of Columbia, CA, where it became part of a dwelling.
In 1984, the owner was threatening to destroy the car, and booster group MSR, with the help of some city departments, was able to extricate the car.
In the early 1990s, partial restoration was carried out at Deuel Vocational Facility Prison in Tracy, CA, and now complete restoration is being done by MSR at the Mint Yard.
