The next car to arrive from Trolleyville will probably be one we haven't even announced yet. IRM has acquired another car from that collection. PCC #352 was built for Twin City Rapid Transit of Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1947. When that system was abandoned in 1953 the car then went to Shaker as #63, and then to GCRTA. It was then preserved by Trolleyville. Frank Sirinek organized the fund raising for this one, which is said to be in very good condition and should be operable. Follow this link for a picture of it at Trolleyville, and this link for a good picture (of a car at the Minnesota Streetcar Museum) of what the TCRT paint scheme will look like. Pretty sharp!
Update: Tom Hunter sent me several photos of the car at MSM which he took last spring.
Thanks, Tom!
