	Gleanings  From  *Trolley  Fare*
		July--1965

	"There is still one car left slumbering in Coopersdale Barn. 
Single-ender 362 rests behind a barbed wire fence, and from what could
be detected in the fading light, is still pretty much intact, at least
from a mechanical point of view.  The car is under cover, and while
rusted somewhat here and there, not quite complete, and quite dirty, it
is obviously not yet to the unrestorable stage.  The rear of the car
faces out, and it was too dark inside to detect the presence or absence
of control equipment."
	"Rail in the street is nearly completely removed, as evidenced by the
Kovalchic Salvage Co. trailer truck loaded with short sections of girder
rail seen near Coopersdale.  Only short stretches of exposed rail on the
Moxham line could be found, although we did not investigate the Franklin
line or the outer end of Morellville.  All rail has been removed from
Moxham yard, and the 'flying platform' was not detected anywhere."
