MWB - she's tucked inside the barn at the stadium. Not part of the regular tour but if you ask nicely I'm sure they will let you take a peek at her. Woodwork is shot but the good thing is there isn't that much to replace. She is on the long list for cosmetic resto and static display.
From the ECTMA website:
"Car #D-7 was built by PRT's own 8th Street shops in 1908 as #2624, being renumbered in 1912. It was an unusual "coal trolley," resembling a railroad hopper car with end platforms and a pole added. The car dutifully hauled coal to power stations where PRT generated its own electricity. PRT gradually bought more and more power rather that generating its own, and it closed its power stations slowly between 1913 and 1925. Car #D-7 was then converted into a vacuum cleaner car for the streetcar Subway-Surface tunnel. It was sold off in 1971 and is the only coal trolley preserved today."
