Movers and Shakers

The Shaker PCC #63 (built as Twin City Transit #352) has arrived at IRM and was unloaded this afternoon! Here are a few pictures I was able to take; most of the time I was helping.

On Saturday, Frank Sirinek inspects the car in the warehouse at the dock in Cleveland.

The interior of the car, before Frank put all the windows back in (helped by Greg.)

This is certainly the best of the Shaker PCCs.

It arrived at the property about 3:00 this afternoon. Here the Silk Road driver waits at the entrance gate while a few impediments are moved.

The hardest part was the turn at Central and Depot. The trailer is so long that it's nearly impossible for the streetcar to make streetcar turns. But the driver was a real pro.

Here we have dropped the gooseneck and built the ramp. The car was then pulled down the ramp by the Joy; sorry, no pictures, I was busy.

Finally, here it is on the pit lead, at sunset.

People who helped unload were Nick, Warren, Tim Peters, Frank, Mike, and myself. And of course, the Silk Road driver.
