This model 75 gasoline engine rail car was commissioned on November 24, 1925 by the Columbus & Greenville Railway Company in Mississippi. It was built by the J. G. Brill company for $42,400.00. In 1930 the car was retired by the Columbus & Greenville and sold to the Louisiana & Northwest Railroad, which renumbered it M-300. By 1949 the car was retired and sold into private ownership. In 2017 it was purchased by Jerry Braswell, who moved it to this location in Covington, Louisiana, and refurbished it to serve as a dining car.
