All good things must come to an end. Demolition of the train wreck has begun. Rail car 20 was purchased by Mary Krull. One of the 85 foot cars is going to a lodging business 6 miles out of Seward. The other 85 foot car and the former bike shop Car 20, a 52 foot Pullman Kitchen car, formerly served as a deli for sandwiches, ice cream, coffee and Alaska Railroad souvenirs. The original box refrigerator and cast iron stove are still in use.
Henry and Mary Krull purchased Troop Kitchen railcar #0020 and are moving it from Seward to Soldotna. Workers are preparing the railcar to be lifted by crane and placed on a semi for the trip to its new home.
