ITM equipment moved

Appearances to the contrary, the Indiana Transportation Museum isn't dead yet. The photo above is from a recent post on the Schlatter Boys Transport Facebook page and shows one of ITM's three remaining electric cars, all of them Lackawanna high-roof MU trailers in awful condition, en route to its new home. These three cars were among a motley assortment of equipment stored north of Noblesville near Cicero, Indiana on two sidings owned by an aggregate company of some sort. As such the equipment was not seized by the City of Noblesville but, rather, was evicted earlier this year by the owner of the sidings. Conventional wisdom suggested the equipment would all be cut up where it sat but it seems ITM has mustered the resources to move at least some of the cars to a concrete pad in Logansport, where they will now await further developments. The PNAERC list has been updated to reflect the fact that the core of the ITM collection, such as it is, now sits in Logansport rather than in Cicero.
