The Atlantic Northern railway ran this little homemade railcar to Kimballton
from Atlantic. With the advent of automobiles, the line's passenger and freight
traffic dwindled greatly, so sometime in the 1920's this this car was built and
put into service to save the U.S. mail contract, haul light freight, and
transport what few passengers still used the Atlantic Northern for
transportation into Atlantic and Elk Horn.  The Atlantic Northern finally
abandoned the line and took the rails up in 1936.  Traces of the old
right-of-way can still be seen along the former A.N. route.
