This car was part of the Brookins collection and was in very deteriorated condition, having been acquired for parts and neglected for around 50 years.
The second photo shows half the body collapsing as it is being moved to the disposal site.
We are saving the control and brake equpment for our own use. The trucks have been promised to another museum. The underframe is available to anyone who can use it as a flat car (saves us the effort of cutting it up). There is also an air compressor that is not yet spoken for. Contact PTM at 724-228-9256 if interested.
