TRACTION AROUND NORTH AMERICA
This wooden combine is Oregon Electric #65, built by American Car Company in 1912.  After OE passenger service quit in 1934 this car was demotorized and sold to Skagit River Railway, where it was #16; in 1955 it was retired and sold to the Willamette Valley Electric Railway Association.  It later spent time at the Vernonia South Park & Sunset Steam Railway before being acquired by the Black Hills Central in Hill City, South Dakota in 1970; it is now stored at the BHC.
