This car appears to be a former Louisville & Nashville segregated or ‘Jim Crow’ combine, the giveaway is the baggage section being in the centre. I’ve examined the car up close and the truck frames have little “L&N” initials cast into them. There is also “06/99 FE” or “FT. Edmonton” writing painted on a few parts.
I couldn’t find a number but I suspect this is L&N 676, which formerly resided at Fort Edmonton Park and is listed by the Trackside Guide as being a few kilometres northeast of Blackfalds, Alberta, where it seems no car of any kind is to be found.
