[PRCo] PRC 1400 Series PCC in Museum

I saw and fotted it in Joliet.  I think it was the last passenger train ever to use the EJ&E station there.

Then later I saw it on the State Belt RR on the waterfront in San Francisco.

Here is a link to 1440 on Seashore's web site.

I have no idea what shape it is in today.  Remember when Alan Pegler's Royal Scot  (4472) was running in the U. S. A?    I think it is called the Flying Scotsman today and there is a joke on line about renaming it after the prime minister by simply removing the F from the name.  

Well, I think that might have been about 1969.   I went up on the Night Clunker from Philly to Providence and met Bill Middleton (the Navy had him in Newport, RI then) and we spent the weekend chasing a British steam engine and riding trolleys at Seashore.   That was the only time I saw 1440 and it looked pretty good them.    I have been up that way one or two times since but I didn't see it out.
