Hollister, MO - 1/30/03

Former EL Diner 741 arrived at Ozark Mountain Railcar early this morning, and was spotted by the Missouri and Northern Arkansas Railroad on OMR's RIP track. John Suscheck performed an inbound inspection, and thoroughly looked over 741. He reports that the car looks OK, with no problems after its journey from Scranton.

John and his crew spent the day removing the plywood walls that were installed by EL in the kitchen. The sinks and commode at the end of the car (which were installed by MoW) were also removed. The refrigerator will be removed as well.

741's kitchen after the removal of the plywood walls added for MOW service - looking towards the pantry (left) and dining area (right).
