The baggage car that couldn't

The baggage car that couldn't

That prized former Union Pacific baggage car--donated to the Golden State Model Railroad Museum but blocked at the last minute by concern about clearance past PG&E power lines--is gone for good. The museum has been unable to resolve the problem, so the donor, Levin-Richmond Terminal Corporation, has given it instead to the Pacific Locomotive Association, operator of the Niles Canyon Railway.

The Pride Fund had granted the museum $6100 for accomodating the baggage car--but has now consented to letting the museum spend it on a street-side wrought iron fence and landscaping, said museum official John Edginton.
