Summary

Description

This restored combination car saw service on the Mammoth Cave Railroad, which operated in the late 1800s to early 1900s in west-central Kentucky, USA. The rail line brought tourists from Glasgow Junction (now called Park City) to the northern end of Mammoth Cave Ridge, near Mammoth Cave's Historic Entrance. (For a vintage photo of an operating Mammoth Cave Railroad tourist train, see: <a href="http://www.nps.gov/maca/learn/historyculture/index.htm" rel="nofollow">www.nps.gov/maca/learn/historyculture/index.htm</a>.)

Unlike a passenger car or baggage car, a combination car (also known as a "combine" car or coach-baggage car) carried passengers and baggage together.

From park signage:

The combination car had compartments for travelers and their baggage, and for freight. A wood-burning stove kept the passenger compartment warm in cool weather.
