The 4153 is in warehouse pt CT. At the trolley museum there.
This one was the last one to my knowledge that’s even reasonably restorable to a loco haul unit at minimum.
I was on the car before the plague hit.
There was a volunteer there who was also an engineer for the railroad who had a small Group working on the car.
The organization to my knowledge may have shut down that project or shifted manpower elsewhere.
Last I head the car may be on their deaccession list.
However, though a great candidate to save and return to LI. The cost to bring it home my Exceed $100,000.00 due to its location, being land locked, needing to be trucked on a specialized flat bed, over size load permits, and dealing with 2 very difficult to work with states.
If anyone is interested is funding the bigger portion let me know and I can advance the matter to the proper authorities.
Serious funding is needed, talk is cheep
Talk and cheeping out so called Railfan’s sent a lot of valuable and historic equipment to the scrapper.
