RPCX 101, "William B. Baer" (nee PRR)         
Built by the Budd Co in 1947 for the Pennsylvania RR as their #4064, this 52 seat coach was part of the PRR/SAL Silver Meteor pool. The car retained its number when absorbed in the Penn Central system. Amtrak took control of it in 1971, renumbered it #5286, then #6073 after rebuilding it to a 60 seat capacity. Orrville RR Heritage Society purchased it in 1984 and started using it in 1985 fan trips. Its name, Wm B Baer, is in honor of the late president of Will-Burt Co who supported the ORHS.
