Jamestown, Westfield & Northwestern
Car 305

This June 1934 photo from the John Woodbury collection shows the car in Westfield, NY.

Car 305 was the last of the initial order of six cars (300 - 305) delivered to the Jamestown, Westfield and Northwestern Railroad by the Cincinnati Car Company in 1914. Like its sister cars, it was delivered with 60 seats and controls at each end. The coach seats were leather covered while those in the smoking compartment were covered with rattan. It was later modified and two windows were eliminated by adding a baggage section to the smoking section end.

The car was retired in 1935 and as of 1942 it was in service as a lunch car in Jamestown.
