As I started digging deeper into the "I Have No Idea" folder, I realized that most of them were probably not as mysterious as the first group we posted, although they're still interesting. So I will ask previous winners to hold off and let other kids have a chance. At least for a day or two.
This one, for instance, is clear enough. You don't often see what the FJ&G used before they got Bullets.
And this is obviously Cook County #1, which should probably be filed under CSL:
So here are the next mystery cars:
 |
| #1 |
 |
| #2 |
 |
| #3 |
 |
| #4 |
 |
| #5 |
 |
| #6 |
 |
| #7 |
 |
| #8 |

Ah, #1 appears to be LAMTA (Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority?). I believe the bottom half of the car is meant to be light green, but it didn't show up well in the photo. I think I can just make out some Pacific Electric cars hiding in the background of the photo as well as well.

#7 is a Third Avenue Railway (NY City) rail grinder used mainly on Bronx lines, as Manhattan had underground conduit for power.
#1 appears to also be a former Pacific Electric car, or at least a very similar build to some of their cars.

#6 Is also Hammond, Whiting, and East Chicago car #70. I recognize the logo on the side and the roll sign on top reads "Hammond."
