A former Jersey Central, then Morris County Central passenger coach is on it's way to the Whippany Railroad Museum in New Jersey.
(It's a movie star too!)
Here's the story from northjersey.com
We rode the Morris County Central years a go and have fond memories of the same.

By the way, the story comes with a short attached video about the Mahwah (Erie) Station Museum!
Always love to see one that DIDN'T get away! Away to the scrap yard that is!
Same me, different spelling!
Yeah, every once in a while the stars align just right and one slips through the cracks!
Hey, I found a video of the old Morris County Central! That coach is probably in there somewhere.

Could be! All I ever saw of the MCC was what little bit there is in that super mega VHS set that came out in the 90's with snippits of just about everything. You know the one I mean, I remember we once decided that we both have the same set.

Yes, I think I know the one you mean.
About 15 years ago I lucked into a full-lenth VHS video about the Morris County Central. I picked it up at a train show but "O Gauge Railroading" magazine sold it as well. I've never seen a DVD version so when I watch the old VHS tape I'm super-careful with it!
Well, waddaya know, there IS a DVD! Looks like I better get busy!
