<div dir="ltr"><div>Raymond,<br></div>PRCo/PATransit PCC 1644 is at Northern Ohio Railway Museum (NORM). In the 1990s it have very little rust on it. I have attached a photo of it in 2009. Note that it is rusting through. Today (2013) it has a "lovely" rust color patina all over it. Soon all the paint will disappear, as will the car, if they don't do something about the rusting.<br>

I think you will find that 304, the one I sent the photo of in service in the year 1953, went to and is at Fox River. 303 is shown at NORM.<br>
<br>
Ole debbil memory again! I have the same problem, but believe I'm correct in this case.<br>

Thanks for info on 302. Suspected it became a 'parts' car, but that was just a guess.<br>
<br>
When Trolleyville collection dispersed in 2009, 304 went to Northern Ohio and 303 went to Fox River. (Should check the museum websites to verify the latter two car numbers - not good to rely on memory).<br>
<br>
Of course this list is more familiar with certain other parts of the dispersion: 4145, 2227 and Toledo to PTM, plus a freight motor destined to become a 'parts' car.<br>
