Kitchen Car #1713


McCloud, CA, 6/2008. This #1713, the fourth car to carry this number in McCloud's history, was the kitchen car where all meals for the Shasta Sunset Dinner Train were prepared once the company took the job over from an outside vendor. The company shops built the car from a bulkhead flatcar, former Northwestern Oklahoma Railroad #21203, and an office trailer. A fire heavily damaged the car in late 2002, but the railroad quickly rebuilt it.


The abandoned and derelict kitchen car in March 2013, about three years before Carlton Trucking trucked the car to their yard in Burney. Jeff Moore.
