Aaron Keller General This car was FJG 153917, ex-PC, class X44C, built 5-1951, rebuilt 6-1969, last inspected 4-1978, last stenciled 3-18-82 before being shoved onto the Leader-Herald spur (Harrison Street back line) and left abandoned. A local historical group secured its donation and secured donations to move it to this park via tow truck in 1995. The track it sits on was recovered from various crossings in the City of Gloversville well after the mainline rails were pulled in 1990. Though this display sits basically on the FJ&G mainline, it is slightly askew from the original tangent by an angle of a few minor degrees. 1/4/2021 12:32:29 AM
