	Nice you said *proposed*  --  as I understand it, they are still
begging for *donations* for operations.

	The cars they will be using are Toronto 4500-4549 series that have a
tie with PRCo  --  that tie being that along with 1725-1799, they are
the only users of the Clarka B-2B truck.  But alas and alack, rather
than use the B-2Bs they are using B-3s from the spam cans in Chicago -
didn't want to have to standard gauge the B-2Bs.

	I was in touch with the project coordinator when I learned of this
because it would be worth a trip to see B-2Bs restored to their original
condition.  But that is not to be!
