Congratulations on the acquisition, Sam...

As for the car's history...Kent Stephen's book on the YW shows NWP selling your car to the YW in 1962. Kent lists the car as "available for excursions until transferred during the mid-1970's to the OP&E at Cottage Grove". However, Fred Stindt's book on the OP&E, which includes a pretty good accounting of passenger equipment used on that road, does not include any records of this car arriving on that road, at least as of its June 1983 printing date.
