Other pieces of work equipment operating in 1951...from memory, (less roster confirmation), aside from the several high floor scraper/tows and line car M210 mentioned, were line car M212, crane M283, dump M551, converted dump M555, flatbed M701, chemtank M517, and over a dozen McGuires. May have missed a few, but I think these were the last of PRC's fleet of maintenance originals and conversions. Not included here are the many passenger conversions to the "M" classification. All hail those romantic beasts of burden... keepers of the rail trails...preservers of the revenue trippers...

What would they be used for???? They had scrappers, they had a line car, they had a tow car. >From: "Edward H.
