Northern Pacific Baggage 676

Purchased by the Northern Pacific in 1965 for baggage services on the North Coast Limited train and was numbered 252. In 1970, the Northern Pacific Railroad Merged with the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad, and this baggage car was discontinued with them. When the National Railroad Passenger Corporation invented Amtrak in 1971, this baggage car was used for the Burlington Northern Railroad's maintenance of way trains and was renumbered 676. It was then sold to the National Railway Historical Society in 1987, and it was used on excursion trains as a commissary car. The Norfolk Southern Railroad used this baggage car as well for excursion trains until the 1990s. It was then moved to a static display at the North Florida Railway Museum has been here since 1994.
