With all the talk about about the National Capital Trolley Museum fire, has anyone seen a list of what was lost?

Did theCapital WERCo 650, which was recently traded from the Shoreline Trolley Museum make it?

My understanding is that the cars lost include DC pre-PCC 1053, Johnstown 352, DC sweepers 07 and 026, DC work car 0509, Graz(Austria) 120, and Vienna 6062 and 7802. WERCo 650 is stored outdoors, well away from the carbarn area, and was probably not damaged.

The complete list is in their press release, thought they don't use the number identifier for some of the overseas cars. Here are the destroyed cars by the numbers:

Capital Transit Company 1053 (unique Pre-PCC streamliner)
DC Transit 0509 (line car - orginally open car)
Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon 51 (sweeper)
Capital Transit 07 (sweeper)
Johnstown Transit 352 (closed)
Grazer Verkehrsbetriebe 120 (2-axle Closed Graz Austria)
WStW 6062/WStW 7802 (Closed 2-axle Motor/Trailer Vienna Austria)
