We’re wrapping up with a look at our team’s conservation of Central Railroad and Banking #2, originally built in 1878.

After the coach came out of railroad service, it entered private ownership and underwent changes as it was used as a fish camp.

Hidden beneath several coats of paint applied during this period, a beautiful wood-grain faux finish was discovered, along with a monogram from the last time the car was rebuilt by the railroad in 1904.

Our team’s approach to this work is one of conservation, meaning that anything added to the car after its railroad service is carefully removed, and what is uncovered is conserved to preserve the vestiges of that moment in time.

Other than the restoration of the insignia for clarity, the remaining surfaces will not be restored at this time in order to preserve as much historic fabric as possible.
