Re: D&RGW stock cars in California (pics)

The other stock car was 5522. The car remained at Universal Studios until 1991 when we removed the remains of the car along with SPNG gondola #233.
Around 1989 Ken Yeo and I went back to Universal and dismantled the upper car by collapsing the side and ends on the flooring to prepare the car for moving. We collapsed the car due to the expense of moving two cars 450 miles. When we returned to pick up the two remaining cars we found that there had been a studio fire and the studio had cleaned everything off the then flat car. We used some parts such as truss rods to replace the missing two on the F&CC box 507. It became parts after the remaining rotting frame was dismantled.
