3106 at the Memorial Arch in Hartford in 1940. After the Hartford lines were abandoned on July 27, 1941, a total of 15 3100s from Hartford were sold (3100-3109, 3111-3114, and 3122). We know that seven went to Johnstown, becoming 312-318, with 3100 becoming 312, 3107 becoming 314, and 3109 becoming 315. The rest appear to have gone to Johnstown at first (most likely) and then some went on to Vera Cruz, although no one is sure of the time frame for that.
