Tim Peters reports more progress on CRT 1024: Here's today's archaeological treat. For the first time in over 100 years,
we have a picture of the motor trap opened on the trailer end of the car.
Yes, the trailer end. You will note the holes for the motor leads on the
right side. This is very interesting since this was a two motor car and they were
both on the other end. Also interesting is that the bulkhead door rollers
were hitting the bare heater feed wire drooping above them. Shocking!

Was it two motored as a locomotive car as well?
David Church
Yes. According to B-113, it always had two GE 55 motors. The control system changed from L controllers to GE M with C6 controllers (no automatic acceleration) then C36 with automatic acceleration, as it has now.
