1565--1569??? I thought that series ended with 1565.

Incidently, despite the North Shore Line's reputation for top notched maintenance
until the very end, Scott Greig and his coworkers at IRM found a fair amount of bondo
in NSL car 749 during its ongoing restoration.

I took a peek under Pittsburgh 1711 a couple of years ago. I suspect all sorts of
horror stories from Altranz crew will come out before the car is done. :-)  Ken J.
