[PRCo] Re: Shovel__Car--__--Work__Equipment

[Edward H. Lybarger]

We have the construction order for car M210.  Trucks and electrical gear
came from 4306, while the lift came from M211 (I believe).  The carbody was
new by PRCo in 1940.

M517 was indeed a converted dump car.  We scrapped it at PTM in the 1970s.
Trucks were used under Boston Elevated 3618.
