Rawlins, Wyoming
At Portland, Oregon in December 1891, Smith turned the car over to its first missionaries, the Wheelers. By 1892, the chapel car was called upon to serve the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. In 1894, "Evangel" was brought to serve the Southern United States. From 1901 until 1924, the chapel car traveled the rails of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska before being retired to Rawlins, Wyoming, where the old car was incorporated into the design of the local Baptist church by 1930. The church, Chapel Car Bible Church has started a remodel project in hopes of uncovering parts of the original train that have been hidden and to highlight the chapel car and its missionary history. The church is open for visitors to view the chapel car upon appointment. The church is located on the corner of 12th and W. Maple Street in Rawlins, Wyoming.
