TRACK can we get????<BR>><BR>> Bob,<BR>> The original number of the car
sitting in your photo at Van Aken Yard was<BR>> 2365. It was originally a
Cleveland Railway Company trailer. It was<BR>> delivered to Cleveland Railway
on March 2, 1918 and continued as a<BR>> Cleveland Railway trailer car until
it was sold to Shaker Heights Rapid<BR>> Transit on October 26, 1946. The car
was originally built by G. C. Kuhlman<BR>> Co. It was 49 feet long, had seats
for 59 passengers, ran on Brill 67F<BR>> trucks and weighed 25,900 pounds.
The original cost of the car was<BR>> $2,760.30. This series' nomenclature
(given by Cleveland Railway Co) was<BR>> "Arch Roof Trailer".<BR>><BR>>
It began in Shaker Heights Service in 1947 (exact date unavailable). it
had<BR>> "cable" MU couplers, was renumbered to 58 and stayed in SHRT
revenue<BR>> service until sometime in 1948. At that time is was towed to Van
Aken Yard<BR>> and made a "permanent" trainman's locker room and office. This
"permanent"<BR>> assignment lasted until April 3, 1968 when it was towed to
Kingsbury Run<BR>> Shops. In 1968 it was sold to Gerald E. Brookins and moved
to Trolleyville<BR>> in 1968. It was almost totally restored to its original
Cleveland Railway<BR>> appearance even to the Peter Smith coal stove. It was
stored at<BR>> Trolleyville and what has happened to it since the demise of
the<BR>> Trolleyville collection I do not know. I suppose it's somewhere in
the U.S.<BR>> at some trolley museum.<BR>><BR>><BR>> On Wed, Jul 17,
