The former URTX 26571 "Libby's" car was successfully loaded and shipped from PTM on 4/24 to its new owner Age of Steam Roundhouse. The loading was handled by Zemba Bros. of Zanesville, OH using portable jacks and a beam trailer. PTM has 3 more 1950s vintage reefer cars that are seeking new homes as well. A previous posting gives contact info.

About 25 years ago I came across 4 old wooden refers around York, PA sitting on a siding in an industrial area. These wouldn't happen to be the same cars, would they? |

Definitely not the same cars from York. The four that PTM has, three now remaining, have been at the museum since the early to mid-1960s. They are being made surplus to our requirements by erection of a 40x216' Artifact Preservation Building (read: parts warehouse). These have never been part of PTM's collection, having been acquired for storage space only. |
