Any word what will happen to the Pheobe Snows? I assume they are destined for a museum somewhere, though I doubt their interiors are in any reasonable shape.

BTW, I took a photo of 5010 on what I think was her last day in NJT service, at Hohokus:

I understand one, possibly 2 of the cars are going to Steamtown in Scranton, and I hear the other car is destined for a rail museum out west.

With the budget and financial mess at MNR, the conversion of 5009/10 into the Inspection Cars is presently on hold. I did see an initial sketch of what they are gonna look like, and I am not gonna lie, they are gonna look pretty damn sharp!!

I agree. However, I have seen an initial sketch of what the Comet IIIs will look like after the conversion into the Inspection Cars, and they indeed look very sharp!! :-)

Uggh but the cars have no grace like the Phoebe cars it should be older equipment.

I'd rather the graceful equipment go to Steamtown, the utilitarian cars taking over the drudgery of doing the inspection work.

IDK we each have our tastes. Though if they have to go I agree with sending them to a museum for all to enjoy
