Yeah, R-7A #1575's original car body was by built by Pullman-Standard, and rebuilt by American Car and Foundry. #1575's linkage does lead back to Pullman, at least its components.Alas, R-6-2 #1208 was a museum car from Pullman, but later scrapped. One could say that #1575 is literally the only survivor of the entire R-1/9 fleet that originally came from Pullman. However, in a turnabout way, when R-10 cars #3029 and #3240 were involved in the Dyckman Street sideswipe in 1958, both of them were sent to Pullman-Standard. While car #3029 looked pretty much the same (it ended its career as a green-painted car in 1989), car #3240 had its lighting made more brighter with all brand newer lenses, much like the R-16 thru R-22 cars. Both cars are gone too. -William A. Padron ["200"] |
