The High Iron Company already had a tool car named #5 CONNEAUT, so this would likely have been the same car. HICO's CONNEAUT was Ex-N&W 1241, Exx-Wabash 450, a heavyweight baggage car. Later, the car became Iron Horse Enterprises #7 NEW HOPE, then Black River & Western #5 CONNEAUT. Today the car is Ohio Central's 5012 CONNEAUT.
