We have an update for those of you who have been following FPT’s work on PRT snow sweeper C-145 at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum.

Last week some of our younger members put the new bumpers on the car that had been made last year by carpenter Jerry Sateriale. Andrew, Logan, and friend Mason are seen here putting the final touches on the bumpers.

But wait, friends, there’s more!

With the outside of C-145 almost finished, we are moving to the interior.  We found remains of orange, two shades of green and a grey on the interior.  We decided to go with the medium grey. Harry Donahue is seen inside the car as work progresses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friends: FPT thanks you all for your interest in our upcoming $25 Day at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. Due to your outpouring of support, and the need for social distancing, we have sold out of tickets for the event.

If we end up with cancellations or the ability to offer more seats before the date arrives, we will post notifications here and on our social media platforms.

Again, we thank you for your interest and support for our mission. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
