Denby Steam Cartage?

[Otto Puzzell]

No

I've found some similar called The Brotherhood Line

[Otto Puzzell]

Interesting. It seems locomotive-cars were quite popular for a while.

The puzzle car has no relationship to that car, other than a similar appearance.

[Otto Puzzell]

The name of this contraption conjures images of hoochie-coochie girls.

Its purpose was associated with a birthday celebration, of sorts.

Chuggin' toward the Black Hole...

[Otto Puzzell]

The last ride

[Otto Puzzell]

The name of this contraption conjures images of hoochie-coochie girls.

Its purpose was associated with a birthday celebration, of sorts.

About 311,591,917 persons celebrated this birthday last year. Another, far-away group of 62,218,761 did not.

[Otto Puzzell]

Really? Nobody can make anything of these clues? 

[Otto Puzzell]

Another huge clue...

[Ray B.]

I had guessed a Washington's birthday celebration of course, but I didn't go further.

[Otto Puzzell]

This birthday is celebrated after the summer solstice, and before the autumnal equinox.

[Wendax]

10 days before the French do it?

[Otto Puzzell]

You are wise indeed.

[RayTheRat]

Independence Day (July 4th) parade car thing?

[Wendax]

 

[Otto Puzzell]

Independence Day (US) is indeed the date in question.

Wendax got there first. 

Now, on to identifying that car/truck/train thingy.

[Otto Puzzell]

I was prepared to post a good, stout clue about the builder's name, but it's not spelled exactly like the clue.

So, drink that in, and see what you come up with. 

[RayTheRat]

Builder's name Stoudt?

[Otto Puzzell]

Builder's name Stoudt?

No, but you got the general idea. Think of a well-know peddler of 'Stoudt', and then misspell the name  

[RayTheRat]

Ginness?
