Ex-Bamberger 403, now Black Hills Central 403 "Battle Creek" in service in South Dakota - 2116 Photographer?
Bamburger Car 403
10 May 2019

Keystone South Dakota - The last surviving piece of the Bamberger worth mentioning is also the oldest.
 
Trailer number 403 was originally built by the Jewett Car Company in 1910 as the second of that number and motored in 1929 as number 302.
 
It was eventually sold to the Sons of Utah Pioneers and displayed at Pioneer Village in Salt Lake City until being moved to Corinne, Utah, then the Heber Valley Railroad in 1994.
 
The Heber Creeper restored it back to its original Bamberger appearance in 1994, then sold it to the Black Hills Central Railroad in South Dakota for their 1880 Train in 2012.
 
Here, the car received extensive rehabilitation from Gomaco and is now in service as of 2016.
 
So long as one Bamberger car still runs, so too will Simon Bamberger's electric railway never perish.
