10, built in 1902 by Niles, was part of the CA&E's first order of cars.
Originally built as a coach, it was later rebuilt into a combine (the only one on the CA&E) for use in funeral trains.
After the funeral service ended in the 1930s, it continued in passenger service until it was destroyed in a wreck in 1948.
The car is painted in the 1930s coffee and cream, and the arched stained glass windows (streamer sash) have been removed. On the west side of the Wheaton Shops.
