Second rebuilt PCC returns to El Paso

The second El Paso PCC to see its rebuilding completed by Brookville has returned to Texas. This car is 1512, which started its life in 1937 as San Diego 513 and went to El Paso in 1950. Like the other five cars being rebuilt, it's no longer a GE air-electric; it's now an all-electric and has been fitted with the same Westinghouse-esque control equipment that Brookville is fitting to cars it rebuilds for Muni. And like the first car to be delivered from Brookville, 1506, it is in traditional El Paso mint green. Its status has been updated in the PNAERC roster and ownership has been transferred to Sun Metro, which will be operating the new heritage car line.
