Single-Trucker Added, Single-Trucker Subtracted

Thanks to the owner of Richmond 1514, a Birney body in private hands in North Carolina that has been added to the PNAERC list, for contacting me with information on the car. The car (no current photo is on hand; the above shot is of sister car 1513 in service in the 1940s) is a standard Birney built by Brill in 1922 that ran for Virginia Electric Power in the state's capital city. Its owner is currently working on a cosmetic restoration of the car.

That covers the addition; as for the subtraction, that same individual mentioned that the Alabama Power Company single-trucker in Gadsden, Alabama, is thought to have been scrapped within the past couple of years. This car's number was unknown, but it was an eight-window car built in 1915 by Southern Car Company for service in Anniston, Alabama. It was privately owned in poor condition (this photo is reputed to show the car in the 1990s). There are now only four cars on the list that were built by Southern Car Company, and one of those - Richmond 194 - has been deaccessed by its owner and may be dismantled soon.
