Olympus is one of two baggage cars built 1947-48 for the Gods and Goddess trainsets, when they were reassigned to the Nebraska Zephyr Route. Explains the name Argo is the other, and it is gone. Olympus has signficant damage as seen but is the only one, and while we cannot afford to make complete repairs right now, we have a chance to actually acquire the car for relatively little cost. The interior is dry and we are reviewing the possible uses of the car as an active display for the public. The car is NOT intended to become dead storage. Any contributions will be appreciated. While there is no specific online donation site for this car, if folks make a donation to the CBQ 1309 and notify me in email I will ber happy to transfer the funds to the correct location
