Taken in July 1930 when the new Cincinnati and Lake Erie high-speeds were brand new. A promotional race with an airplane was staged just south of Dayton with 126, where the interurban won of course

The movie was shown in newsreels all across the country. The pix shows the movie company and their equipment alongside 126.

The car was sold in 1938 to Lehigh Valley Transit (LVT) and renumbered to 1002, and was scrapped on January 10, 1952.
