Post subject:  Streetcars in Detroit

In Andrew Young's book "Veteran & Vintage Transit" he notes that the body of Reading Transit & Light single-truck Birney streetcar #510 is owned by the Detroit Citizens Railway. The DCR is known mainly for its trolley operation that runs through downtown Detroit using ex-Lisbon streetcars, but according to "V&VT" they also own this Reading streetcar body. Does anyone know anything about this car, or have a suggestion of how to contact someone at DCR?
