Second Car.........
Well the next car to be completed rolled out today.
It is car No.101 and was a display car. That is, the public rode through this car viewing the displays inside. A conveyor belt was installed along one side of the cars' interior and one would ride from one end to the other on the belt then cross between cars and get on the next one and this went on for 10 cars.
Because of this arrangement, the exterior windows were different on one side from the other. One the side with the conveyor belt, were shallow display panels that held large photos of historical significance while the other side had what were called ' shadowbox ' windows. The shadowbox windows contained various artifacts like early electric trains, hula hoops, and other historical trinkets.
Here then is Car No. 101 showing the 'panelside' windows.
And the deeper set 'shadowbox' side.
Looks OK with the first car. Only 23 more to go.
More to come........
