One of the carbodies sitting on cribbing alongside the barn at the Indiana Transportation Museum is ex-Indianapolis & Cincinnati 606, seen here on May 29 2001. This once-graceful steel combine was built by the Cincinnati Car Company in 1923. One interesting note: most of 606's sister cars were sold, upon the abandonment of the I&C, to the Milwaukee Electric and rebuilt into articulated duplex units. The CERA book on the Milwaukee Electric claims that 606 was one of those units rebuilt into a TMER&L duplex, but careful sanding on the side of this carbody revealed its unlikely identity.
