"the first step is to figure out what we want to do with it"  How many tram preservation efforts have started with this question--and never received a viable answer?

Let's hope this one is more successful--although on the other hand, maybe we should not hope that.  There are probably half again as many tram museums in this country as we really need and can support.

  Scott Becker got his name in the Johnstown Tribune Democrat yesterday.   Seems the guys out at the Fox River Trolley Museum (Illinois) did not have enough storage space for their former Johnstown car.   Becker found a home for it back in Cambria County.   The links below lead to the story in the local papers. 
  Thanks to Ed Havens of Tucson, Arizona who forwarded the links to Frank Pfuhler in Brooklyn who passed it my way.   Ed is an old Philadelphia fan.
