The last ITM electrics

It appears that the last electric cars owned by the Indiana Transportation Museum, formerly IMOTAC, have been scrapped. Lackawanna MU cars 4336, 4337, and 4361, all of which were relocated from a siding in Cicero, Indiana to an empty lot in Logansport in November 2019, have been cut up per a post on RyPN (thanks to Wesley Paulson for tracking this down). The above photo, from several days ago, shows the early stages of the scrapping process, with what appears to be a backhoe demolishing an Army troop sleeper or something.

Of course these three cars are no real loss, and given their atrocious condition it's no surprise that they're gone. It's more of a surprise that they were moved to Logansport at all and not scrapped in place in Cicero. But the recent history of ITM is a story of poor decisions and misplaced resources. To my knowledge, there are still railroad cars here and there owned by ITM, so the organization still casts a shadow, thin though it might be. But there's nothing owned by the group that remains on the PNAERC list.
