Just a few more notes about the mystery motor flat. It was located at
the rear of Shannon yard and the bed was notably higher than surrouding
similar cars. The wheels were at least 33 inch diameter and possibly
even 36 inches and were not set in arch-bar frames. It did not have the
usual Eclipse fender. Speculation is that it might have been fabricated
using one of the old high floor wooden monsters of the 1910-20 era and
that it might have been used primarily for work on the interurban lines.
BTW, I assume (whoops, forgot that Fred is back), uh, is the roster
information in the Parkinson book accurate?
