Hi Claude, NIce video! I had a VHS version of this film about 20 years ago but it long since died - thank you for posting it here! Messenger of Peace is now restored and on exhibit near Seattle at Snoqualmie inside the Northwest Railway Museum. Would it be possible to use an excerpt from your video in the car's exhibit? Thank you for your consideration.

Any risk for using these materials is yours. We no longer have records related to 3rd party rights. I am not a lawyer so can not give you any legal advice. Sorry I can’t give you a more definitive answer. Claude Wiatrowski Congratulations on restoring Messenger of Peace. I'm so glad another Chapel Car has been restored.
Correct. The museum in Montana that owned the St Paul chapel car traded it to the Escanaba and Lake Superior RR for a narrow gauge steam railroad, installed and running. Included were a steam locomotive, rider cars and 30" gauge track connecting the museum at Nevada City with Virginia City, Montana---or at least that is what the press reported.
Very interesting!
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
