Additional Description: These British Railway coach cars were built in York, England in 1954. After serving time in British Railway service, they were acquired by a Canadian company and were operated in Canada for a period of time, before becoming the property of the Boyne City Railroad. They were operated by the Boyne City Railroad in passenger excursion service in the 1970's. They were eventually acquired by the Detroit and Mackinac Railway around 1980 and had been stored in the D&M round house facility in Tawas City, Mi., for about 25 years before being donated to this project by Charles A. Pinkerton of the Detroit and Mackinac Railway Co. in 2006. They were moved to Standish from Tawas City by truck.
