	The article by Dave Hamley in  *Trolley__Fare*  for  Jul--Aug--1999
says this, and I quote:::::::

	""".......The next retirement was quite spectacular.    Bicentennial
car  1616/1776-II  split the switch at Smithfield and 4th Ave. August
12, 1982 and rammed its front end into a book store front, doing
considerable damage to both.    It was officially retired August 23,
1982,.......    Wrecked car  1616/1776-II  and  'gizmo'  car 
1669/1794-II  were sold for scrap to a junkyard in New Eagle, PA and
trucked out intact April 16, 1984.......    As of a few years ago the
rear half of  1616/1776-II  was still serving as a gas cylinder
storage shed at the junkyard, but now it seems to have
disappeared.......""
