<div dir="ltr"><div><div>John,<br></div>Cars 302, 303, 304 and 306 were sold, by SHRT, to Gerald Brookins in 1954. Car 302 was scrapped by Gerald Brookins in 1985 and used for parts. Car 306 went to Illinois Railway Museum in 1992. My paperwork only goes as far as 1999 and does not indicate the disposition of cars 303 and 304. These two were still at Trolleyville in 1999.<br>
<br></div>Interesting to note is that an agreement was signed between SHRT and Cleveland Transit System concerning these cars. The agreement stipulated that this series of SHRT car would not be operated in what was to become the "joint operational territory" between East 55th Street and Terminal Tower Station. Their last date of operation was March 14, 1955. The cars were slow (it was felt they would slow down operations in the joint territory) and also the required "trip arms" (which had to be installed as a safety factor for use in the joint territory) would be too hard to install in these cars.<br>

Didn't Brookins save four of those Fox River Cars???<br>
<br>
One went to IRM, one went to Northern Ohio, one went to Fox River. Assume the fourth might have been scrapped somewhere along the line for parts.<br>

Yes, I rode it out from Terminal Tower. Sorry it is not a very good photo compositionwise, but it sure brings back memories. For those who may not know, these 1923-built St. Louis cars were second hand from the Aurora, Fox River and Elgin interurban in Illinois, a portion of which is still in use as the Fox River Trolley Museum. This very car was saved and lived for years at Brookins, but is now back home at South Elgin.<br>
