Here are my thoughts on 134-2. After the car was received by the CAE in 1936, they would have painted it red and cream. But the car does not appear to be freshly painted. This suggests to me that the car would still be orange, as most recently painted by the North Shore. This would suggest that the picture was taken soon after delivery in 1936. Do you think there is any merit to my guesses?
ReplyDeleteYes, I had wondered about that too. It's already been rebuilt with bus jumpers, raised couplers, and third rail beams, but might not have been repainted yet.
