Slides from Bill Fronczek

Our friend Bill Fronczek has sent us some slides, mostly of the Lake Shore Electric 150 when it had just arrived at Station Square in Pittsburgh, prior to its conversion into a flower shop.   These slides were developed in June 1977. 

The old P&LE station building is in the background.  It looks like the station tracks had just recently been removed.  The building itself is still in existence, used as a hotel, and this area to the west is now built up also.  In fact, the development of this area led to having the 150 sold to IRM.

Well, honey, I guess it has possibilities....

Finally, we also have a slide taken at the Trolleyville barn in North Olmsted, and some of these cars are now part of the IRM collection also.  From left to right, the Shaker Heights trailer 2365 now at Seashore, followed by our car 18 (or 1218), and an unidentified interurban car.  On the middle track is Vera Cruz 19, our open car.  On the right track, we see Pittsburgh Jones car 4145, which was converted to a work car and is now preserved at Arden, and behind that either Fox River 302 or 306.

Our thanks to Bill for these images!
