The below photo, taken in 1997, shows what appears to be a Connecticut Company open car on an MBTA flatcar. The number of the open car is #1752, although that number doesn't appear in any of my records. Could this be ConnCo #1414, owned by Branford but renumbered for service at Lake Compounce, or is it actually ConnCo #1752 - and if so, who owns it?

It's a Seashore car, temporarily renumbered for dispaly in Boston as part of the 100 anniversary celebration for the Tremont subway. This link gives the story.
