    Knowledgeable Universalhub commenters indicate they are basically shells, having been stripped of all parts that can be used meaningfully for transit.

    Maybe one can be hollowed out for a takeout coffee shop or food “truck” at Riverside. Wouldn’t have to move it far!

    When I was growing up in Simsbury, CT, there was a guy who had an old caboose in his backyard. I didn’t know him but I’m hoping it was his man cave, with maybe a pool table, humidor, kegerator and a full bar set up. These old Green Line trains ain’t pretty, but they are lots of possibilities for re-use.

    I was thinking the same thing Blueprintbill. Someone should start a Go Fund Me campaign to raise fund to buy one for Jerry’s birthday. Does anyone have a low bed truck we can borrow to get it to Jerry’s house? Maybe it could become an accessory unit on his property.
