[PRCo] Re: March(?) 1968 Fan Trip with M-454

M452 was burned by vandals at South Hills Jct. In I think 1971.  PTM bought
the residue for the trucks and underfloor equipment in 1972 and scrapped the
unusable stuff soon after.  4145 was M459.

Yes, M-200, which I always confuse with M-452.

What was M-452's fate? Is it now 4145?
