Montana Centennial Train
Car 6
Exhibit Car

Originally a 4-axle N&W BeK(?) baggage car, donated by the railroad to the West Virginia Centennial Special. Sold to Montana Centennial Train. On the road, this car was the entrance, with visitors entering through the end door. At the World's Fair, it was not the entrance. Murals on both sides of the car were identical. When the car returned to Montana after the World's Fair in 1965 it gained the number CB&Q 501. Today the car sits at the Hardin, MT depot with three new (2007) and different murals by new artists.
