Scranton had a string of E-mobiles from I think 1929 until the line closed in the early 50s. They were the only cars still in service in the later days. One was saved but there was already quite a bit of rust damage since they had all seen over 25 winters of salty roads. Number 505 is currently at the Rock Hill trolley museum in Pa (technically it belongs to the ECTM in Scranton), but it is in sad, sad shape. "Rust holding hands" would apply here. BUT, the trucks are still there, the ECTM has all the factory schematics, and quite a bit of parts from both 505 and a sister car which was recently scrapped, so, if you've got the money...
