The Cars:

“Henry K. Long” Club / Dining Car:

Strasburg Rail Road’s First Class Lounge Car No. 75 is among the most popular cars in our fleet. It serves as both a lounge and dining car with one side configured with large, green captain’s chairs and the second half with tables for a private dining experience. Just like Strasburg’s Marian, the Henry K. Long, car #75 originally ran on the Boston & Main Railroad until 1972. After it was retired from service on the B&M Railroad, it was sold to the Strasburg Rail Road where two years later, the car entered service on the Strasburg and as the Henry K. Long, named in honor of the first president of the revived Strasburg Rail Road Company, Henry Keiper Long.

 

“Lee E. Brenner” Dining Car:

The Lee E. Brenner Dining Car — America’s oldest operating all-wood dining railcar — recreates the traditional dining experience you would have experienced aboard an early 20th-century railroad. During the Edwardian era, dining on the rails was quite sophisticated. What now serves as Strasburg Rail Road’s dining car was built by the Laconia Car Company in 1926 and ran on the Boston & Maine Railroad until 1972. After its retirement in 1972, it arrived at the Strasburg Rail Road. It was rebuilt in 1993 and renamed for Strasburg’s second president, Lee E. Brenner.
