Trolley and Railcars

This ex-SEPTA President's Conference Committee car was built in 1946 by the
St. Louis Car Co. for the Kansas City Public Service Co. It ran in Kansas City
until 1955 when it was sold along with 39 similar cars to the
Philadelphia Transportation Company and spent most of its life running
on Route 50 (4th and 5th Streets). SEPTA took over PTC in September 1968.

Nethercutt Museum Train

These photos are of the 1937 Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson Locomotive that served as the engine transporting King George and Queen Elizabeth across Canada and back (over 6500 miles).  King George was so impressed with the beauty of their Pullman and speed/ride of the Locomotive that he bestowed the Royal Seal on all these models (a limited edition).  Often called the "beer can" due to its cylindrical shape.

The 1912 Pullman Private car was once owned by Clara Baldwin Stocker, 
daughter of "Lucky Baldwin".

Both have been completely restored to original condition with nothing spared and all the details.
