Cars 20 and 22 are indeed at New Hope in the picture. I believe they were owned by individuals then associated with the NH&I, and were never part of the BVTA (now ECTMA) collection. BVTA had operated out of Buckingham on the NH&I for about a mile South, conncting with the steam train which came from the North.
The ECTMA collection is gradually migrating to Scranton as space comes available. The ECTMA's two Red Arrow St. Louis cars, 15 and 17, (they are not PCC's) are scheduled to go to Scranton eventually but are not early candidates for operation as they are wide gauge (62.5")
