“The first step is to figure out what we want to do with it,” said Richard Burkert, association president. “Is it going to be a stationary exhibit or an operating car? That will make a significant difference.”

Operation could be a challenge - if I'm not mistaken, the motors were traded to another trolley museum by FRTM prior to 362's move to Pennsylvania on the assumption that it would be used for static display only.

It's good to see this car going back to Johnstown where it has real local significance - certainly a positive side effect of the Trolleyville sale.
