Many thanks to Wesley Paulson and the others who have sent information on the "situation unknown" cars in the list I posted a couple of days ago. I've been able to answer a few of these questions with the information submitted.
First, it's confirmed that Newport & Providence 9, the body of a double-truck open car built by Laconia in 1904, was demolished by the Seashore Trolley Museum in November 2023. The body - what there was of it - was already in a state of partial collapse, so this was pretty much inevitable. The car has been removed from the list. The above view from
here dates to 2019; the below image is a still from a
video of the car being dismantled. Thanks to Jack D for confirmation of this.
The second car removed from the PNAERC list is TTC subway cab-on-flat work car RT28, shown below in a photo from 2007 from
here. This car and identical car RT29 were preserved at Halton County, which still has RT29 in its collection to represent the type. Thanks to Gord McOuat for confirming that RT28 was scrapped, something like a decade ago as it turns out.
Gord also sent confirm that all three Canadian Railway Museum/Exporail cars -
Montreal Tramways 1953,
Quebec Railway Light & Power 105, and
Toronto TP10 - are very much in existence and are stored indoors in an off-limits building at CRM. Gord even sent a sheet of technical information on TP10 that allowed me to flesh out its entry.
i had always wondered what became of this Spokane United Railways car as seen at what is now the town of Grand Coulee, WA, very near Grand Coulee Dam.

Good question! It looks very similar to car 140 preserved in Reardan, and may very well be the same type of car. My notes claim car 140 was a diner in Chewelah after Spokane streetcar service ended, though, so I don’t think they’re the same car. I suppose it was probably demolished when it had outlived its usefulness.
