Mystery Car (Updated)

The date is April 17, 1982. We were in Pennsylvania on our way from Strasburg to Orbisonia when I happened upon this streetcar body spanning a small creek; I just don't remember exactly where this was. Does anybody recognize this car?

Update: That didn't take long. Our friend Joel Salomon at Rockhill identified it as Harrisburg Railways #811, a 1917 Brill steel car which was acquired by Seashore in 1991, where it is now stored, probably under tarp. I can't find any current pictures of it, but Joel forwarded me a couple of photos of Harrisburg #710 at Rockhill, a 1914 Brill wooden car. Thanks!
