Is this at the museum?

[Edward H. Lybarger]

No 10s, 12s or 15s were retained.  Just 1138, 1440 and 1467, plus the
multitude of later cars.

1440 is at Seashore. I checked their roster. And since that appears to be
Seashore's line, my guess is that the picture was taken there.

According to Seashore's book, the crew regauged the car's trucks during the
late 1960's. This is impressive when one considers they could have swapped
trucks from another property under the car, as everyone else seems to be
doing these days (CTA 6000 trucks under Ex-Philly PCCs.)

BTW, were any 1200 and 1500 series cars ever preserved? Ken J.
