The car was assigned to every subsequent president of the railroad until the BAR bankruptcy in 2003. It was then sold to the Plymouth & Lincoln, which operates the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH. The #100 was used in First Class and charter service on their excursion trains before being sold to Pullman Railtours.
