Montana Centennial Train Originally a 6-axle C&O baggage-RPO car, donated by the railroad to the West Virginia Centennial Special. Sold to Montana Centennial Train. On the other side of the car, the mural of Charlie Russell was replace by a mural for the Oil Industry. The car carried some of the 72 horses that made the round trip to NY. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad was a supporter of the MCT from the beginning, and when the car returned to Montana in 1964 it gained the number CB&Q 505. The car survives today at Wibaux, MT. Image: The car seen after its return to Montana in 1965, its mission accomplished. Note the new CB&Q number on the car in addition to its number '2'.
