I needed to help my daughter move to Cleveland, where she will be working this summer, and that gave me an opportunity to finally meet Ed Allen and talk with him a little. He now lives in an extended care facility there. It appears to be a nice well-run place and he seemed to be in good spirits.
We talked about various things, such as the Trolleyville cars now at IRM. He's always very interested about what's happening with them. He also talked about various cars he had rebuilt over the years, such as the IT PCC's when they were on Shaker, and the WCF&N 381.

He also donated to IRM this Cleveland fare box which will go to the 63.
I know next to nothing about fare boxes, since they weren't used on the CA&E. This one is a very simple mechanism, but fairly large and heavy.

Thanks, Ed!!!
