After sitting for years "abandoned" on an isolated track in Middletown, RI crews from the Old Colony & Newport worked with the Newport & Narragansett Bay to save this former PRR P70 passenger car. Last used by RIDOT in the 1970's the car may see new life in tourist service if it is found to be salvageable. Today our crew moved it from its storage location to Pratt siding for future evaluation and clean up. This video shows the move which initially was suppose to have the flatcar tagging along but it was later set off out of the way. OCN 4764 then did the honors of traversing the temporary track from the cut mainline to pull the car out. Stay tuned for future updates on this car as work progresses.
