Bruce's photos have been uploaded to a Web site, so they should work for
all.  It downloaded fine for me.

The Reader's Digest version of the acqusition is short...Shore Line's focus
at the present time appears to be NY subway cars, and they needed space.
There was little interest in this old car from out west with the Indians; no
one had worked on it in decades.  Car 250 has long been on PTM's "list" of
cars that would be desirable should they ever become available...near the
top, in fact.  When Shore Line offered the car, we accepted.  It came
quickly because Bruce wanted to have it done before he went back to work
(school) at the end of the month; part of the deal was that we had to remove
it by the end of October.  BERA people were satisfied that the car would
have a good home here; we are delighted to have a complete wood interurban
car from a local company.

Now we have a full house again.
