Decades ago there was one spot inside for these two cars (1349/1362).
1362 was in the better condition (roof), so it stayed outside and in now essentially gone :-(
The restoration of 1349 was basically done by one person, no longer at the museum. Wheel re-profiling kept it out of service.
As luck would have it we were using out wheel lathe on New Orleans 850 and a couple of other cars. 1349's wheels were done too.
I've operated both serviceable El cars, 1227 & 1349, but Hurricane Sandy has put them out of service again.
