St. Louis San Francisco (Frisco) Railway Coach No. 661
November 16, 2023
The St. Louis San Francisco (Frisco) Railway Coach #661 is a historic railroad car. It was built in 1883 by the Barney and Smith Car Company of Dayton, Ohio, and served for many years on the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway. When built, it had wood sides and a canvas top; in 1936 the wood siding was covered with steel, and the roof is now a rounded fiberglass mesh that resembles the original canvas. It was acquired in 1996 by the Paperton Junction Southern Railway and restored. It is a rare surviving example of a 19th-century railroad car, with a separate compartment (mandated by Jim Crow laws) for African-American travelers.[2]
