This unusual car is one of the Brill Bullet cars built for the Fonda Johnstown & Gloversville in 1932, seen here on August 7 2004. Originally FJ&G 127, it was sold to the Bamberger in Utah in 1939 where it retained its number. Retired in 1952, for years it was used for storage by a pickle company until acquired by OERM in 1971. It was then undergoing restoration and had trucks specially rebuilt for it. This view shows the rear and blind (non-door) side of the single-ended car.
