Final rebuilt El Paso PCC delivered

The last of the El Paso prewar PCC cars to be rebuilt by Brookville, car 1511, was delivered back to its home city on Wednesday the 19th according to the El Paso Times website. It's the second car to be painted in National City Lines "fruit salad" livery of yellow, green, and white and the sixth car overall to be remanufactured for service on the city's new heritage line. That means that half of the surviving El Paso PCC cars are back in service in the city, with three of the remaining cars in storage for possible eventual rebuilding. The three renegades include a fired-damaged car currently for sale in California, a car eking out an existence as a shop in El Paso, and a car sent back east to represent a long-gone series of Baltimore cars.
