This 73 ft. unit was built as a Mail-Baggage-Passenger car and served the NYC on its Toledo & Ohio Central line, as well as others. It was sold to the Canada & Gulf Terminal in 1947. M-405 was transported to Wolfeboro and went into service on the WRR branch in 1977. In 1979, it was sold to the Old Colony & Newport Railroad in Rhode Island.
