Part of David Davies Railway Collection

Photograph depicts an Ohio Central Railway coach that was brought to Victoria in 2000 for use in the tourist Pacific Wilderness Railway that commenced business in June 2000. This particular car had never been refurbished, suggesting it had a problem from the start. When rail service ceased in July 2001 and cars were taken back to Ohio Central, this one was refused movement over public railways and remained in the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway yard in Victoria. Had 22 windows per side.
