Hi All,

A friend is digitizing old negatives from a large collection and has a builders photo of a Brill Trolly lettered CP & CER & P CO and numbered 101. The order number on the card is 18237. He has not been successful getting any responses or help including from the Historical Society of PA who holds the Brill records.

I do have a couple of Brill construction lists but they only show domestic buyers and nothing in the lists I have resembles the car lettering.

If anyone can help with a lead or direction or information it would be most appreciated!

Blessings!

I've posted your query to Brill Facebook lists. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

I assume you are familiar with the various order lists that Harold Cox digitzed. Frank's pnaerc site has grabbed these:

However I just checked and 18237 to 18259 were missing from the list. All we could conclude is that the order was likely from March 1912.

Hi Trolleyguy & JeffH,

Thank you for the leads and checking other sources for me. The link to the Preserved Trolley site is great. I have extensive lists of steam loco producers but my trolley data was poor to really poor. Those lists fill a definite void in my collection.

If anyone would like a copy of my collection list contact me direct at raildata45 at gmail dot com. The material is shared freely.

Blessings!
