[PRCo] 4398

The way I keep the Museum arrival dates for 3756 and 4398 straight, is by
remembering an early PERC post card that shows 4398 stored at a PRC car barn
(Craft, I think) in the mid-1950's, sometime after the three cars ran to the
Museum under their own power.

This card may still be available, but I'll dig it out if anyone needs to
know the date and location before 4398 went to the Museum.

> I am gratified to hear 832 will be put back together, and I am horrified
that I misidentified 3756 as 4398.  My dad had a 4398 fixation - I have no
idea why - and I kinda inherited it.  Now where does the 832 restoration
plans fall in with the West Penn Car (722 or 728 or something)?  As I
understand it the big West Penn car will be cosmetically restored for
display, so will this be going on at the same time as 4398-832 or is it
later down the line?
