Some more photos:
6 - NCO Ry president Shane Starr watches the crew prep NCO 72 along with June Roberts, whose family has owned the 72 for the last several decades.
7 - Colored clerestory glass remaining in NCO 22's ceiling.
8 - NCO 72 on the move for the first time in over 90 years.
9 - NCO 22 and 72 reunited for the first time since 1927-28. They have a lot of catching up to do!
10 - NCO 72 arrives at its new home. This side of the car was half covered by a shed, which preserved some of the roadname and the side car number, as well as the original mail door and window.
