<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dwight,<br></div>Which is under one roof, the Windber rust pile or the Ohio I-70 rust pile?<br><br></div>The cars near I-70 in Ohio are owned by Ron Jelicka who used to be a member of Northern Ohio Railway Museum. The cars were at NORM originally, from what I was told. Jelicka (may not be the correct spelling of last name, but close enough for identification) had some kind of fight with some other NORM people, took his cars and went home. However, home did not have a car barn. So they now are an experiment showing how electrochemical processes work and act. This scenario was what was told to me by a NORM member. However, all stories have two sides. I have not heard the other side to date. Jelicka also owns the ex-PAT PCC sitting near the lower level of the Detroit-Superior High Level Bridge in Cleveland. I suspect it is rusting also. The attached photos of 4006 where taken in 2007.<br>

At least they are now all (or mostly) under roof.<br>

<div><div class="h5">My guess is that this collector was another guy who wanted to establish a<br>
trolley museum all by himself, then found out how expensive and<br>
labor-intensive such an endeavor really was. There is a lot of now junky<br>
cars sitting off I-70 in Ohio that were collected for the ams reason.<br>
