New car added to list

I was alerted, by a post on a Facebook group by Murphy Zane Jenkins-Henson, to the fact that there is a car from the Southwest Missouri that is preserved, and even on public display, but missing from my list. And we can't have that.

And here it is, in all of its dubious glory, on public display in Carterville, Missouri. It says "No. 66" on the side but that's not its number - presumably that was put on there because it's along Route 66. And the best part is that it is next door to, and may indeed be owned by, the Superman Museum (which doubles as an ice cream parlor). So now the Superman Museum is included on PNAERC.

The Southwest Missouri did have a car numbered 66 but it was a big deck-roof wood car similar to car 60, preserved in Webb City. This car, or what remains of it, is definitely from the 91-95 series of lightweight suburban cars that were turned out by Southwest Missouri's Webb City shops in 1927. They were homely looking cars (see here for an in-service photo) but were the most modern to run on the system and probably ran until the end of electrified passenger service in 1938. What information I have on these cars comes from a book called "Tri-State Traction" by Edward Conrad and that books says that these cars had K-84 controllers, which is the first reference I've come across to that type. So that could be a typo, I don't know. The book also says that three of these cars - 91, 93, and one other - were sold in 1940 for use as a restaurant in Chetopa, Kansas. In 1984 two were scrapped and the third was brought to Carterville, where it remains.
