I happened upon the photo above (from Railroad Picture Archives here) of Reading MU trailer 774, which until recently was in Jim Thorpe, PA. This was one of four identical MU trailers acquired in 1976 by Rail Tours for use as locomotive-hauled coaches and was apparently acquired by Rail Tours' successor in Jim Thorpe, Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, in 2005. Sometime within the past couple of years this car has shown up in Hamburg at the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society's museum. Hence, its ownership has been changed.
All four of those Rail Tours MU trailers are still around, or at least they were last I knew. One is in Stewartstown PA on the Stewartstown Railroad and the other two appear to be in dead storage on the California Western at Fort Bragg, California way out on the west coast.
