    Hello,

    I need help, I am trying to find this car. This railcar is an Private Railcar owned by R.C. Kerens. This private car was named "The Katharyne". This private Railcar, "The Katharyne", was a frequent visitor to Eureka Springs, Ark. "The Katharyne" is now owned by a differment owner and been renamed "The Estelle".
    I am wondering if anyone can help me find this private railcar.
    For more information on "The Katharyne" you can go to my website at http://www.savingesnarailroad.com. Link under "The Katharyne".


    Good question, Does this Private Railcar "The Katharyne" or "The Estelle" still exists??
    Well I think this Private Railcar still exists or why is it named "The Estelle"?? From what I have found from researching I think this railcar still exists. I think it is in Calfornia, but I am not sure. I have been searching the internet, railroad museums, and all railroads in the USA. I have not found it yet, but I am still looking.
    Here is more information that I found about this Private Railcar, "The Katharyne" was built in 1894 by Pullman for R.C. Kerens, Lot #2083, Plan 1115A. This Private Railcar was name "The Katharyne" but it is now name "The Estelle".
    I am asking for help in trying to find this Private Railcar, because I want to know if this car still exists and what condition it may be in. I am hoping that everyone from Frisco.org can help me, because everyone here is from all over the USA and world. So please can anyone help me.

    I did some more research on this Private Railcar "The Katharyne" or known as "The Estelle". The person who bought this after R.C. Kerens was Edward Doheny in 1902. As of 1914 "The Estelle" still exsits. I am still searching for its.

    I am still looking for any help in finding this private railcar, The Estelle, last known location was LA, Calif. I am asking for anyone help in trying to find this car.

    Here are some pictures of this private railcar:

    Brian,

    As you were told in this post on frisco.org, if no one has seen the car since 1914, you can probably forget about it. It's not going to turn up.

    Looking For This Railroad Car

    Hello,

    The Private Railcar "The Estelle" that belong to Edward L. Doheny and named after his wife. This Railcar remained in The Doheny's family for about 20 years. Edward L. Doheny died in 1935, the railcar was sold shortly before his death. So as of then "The Estelle" exists.

    I mention earlier that I have a lot of people in LA, Cailf., looking for this Railcar and I hope I can have more people to help me find this Private Railroad Car.
