The boxcar project includes its
relocation and complete restoration. An interim paint job
will be done to make the car a bit more presentable. After
so many years of neglect, there is a lot of rust.
The main players in this project are the
Chemung Valley Railway Historical Society (CVRHS) and the
Eldridge Park Carousel Preservation Society (EPCPS).
Norfolk Southern Railroad Corporation donated
the car to CVRHS and moved it to Eldridge Park.
The car will be located in the close proximity
of the carousel so that it can become a functional part of
the Park's restoration project. It has been suggested that
the boxcar could serve a number of uses such as a ticket booth
for future attractions or an attraction in its own right.
