I had the photo at the link below sent to me in an e-mail. The sender didn't know any specifics about it. Anyone know where this is, and if this car still exists? Boyd Unknown Interurban? Car Photo bowens@rypn.org |

That car is Michigan Electric #28, an interurban combine built by St. Louis in 1913. The photo is of the car when it was a cottage at Duck Lake, Michigan. In 1972 #28 was rescued by the "body snatchers" from the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, where it has been stored since. Over the past few years a major restoration effort has been underway. A concrete floor that the homeowners had installed was removed and the rear platform has had quite a bit of new steel installed. Restoration efforts are ongoing.
