I still wonder if *operating* cars based at Ingram suffered less body damage
than cars based at Tunnel, Keating or the East End carhouses due to less
traffic density, less trackage climbing up & down winding, narrow urban
streets, etc.

Those cars in the TGM West End tape looked pretty nice compared to some of the
North Side, East End and South Hills cars filmed and/or photographed during the
same time frame (1955-59.)

Or is this simply a perception error on my part looking for some
rationalization? :-)

Didn't somebody mention that part of the Ingram structure now houses a church?
