A friend recently located this photo, probably taken from a postcard, of the early days at IMOTAC in Noblesville. On the left is North Shore car 172, and on the right is CA&E 308. We don't have a date for this image, but it's probably about the time electric operation started. The cars are not under wire on these storage tracks, however. These are the tracks on the east side of the storage barn, and the photographer is facing southeast. He's probably standing on another piece of equipment which was located about where the north end of the barn is now. And you can see the park road in the distance.
So this is a welcome addition to our photographic history of the 308.
