Fauver House Movers relocates vintage railroad passenger car

After rolling from Washington, DC to a railroad spur in Atmore, Fauver House Movers carefully lifted the 10'x85' vintage rail car weighing 85 tons off the tracks and moved it 20 miles to its new home. After renovation, the railroad passenger car will be repurposed as a hunting camp house. The move took 3 1/2 days to compete.
