the Nevada Northern Railway Museum's restored Fairmont Hy-Rail 1956 Pontiac Chieftain station wagon, and for about 400 dollars, you can drive it







In 1956 the Nevada Northern Railway purchased this 1956 Pontiac Station Wagon from the Fairmont Motor Car company

A member of the Nevada Northern Railway museum purchased the vehicle and donated it to the museum. About the same time, the State of Nevada announced a grant program for tourism projects. 

The museum applied and received $20,000! Then they applied to the Great Basin Heritage Partnership through their grant program and received an additional $35,000. 

That got the car restored. I wonder if  there are other original rail inspection cars still operating, or even restored, and with their original railways?
