Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville Railroad Trolley #200

{These are a couple of the Brill Model 55 gas cars purchased by the FJ&G in 1920. These cars were in service mostly on the Northville branch of the FJ&G, but there were pressed into mail-service on the FJ&G between Gloversville and Fonda.

One of the cars pictured, number 202 was loaded on a flatbed and transfered to Troy, NY in 1955. A purchaser was going to use the car for work crews who worked scrapping railroads. Not sure if if ever happened. The final fate of this car was being flattened by a bucket loader. It resided from the mid 1950's to the year 2000
in Grafton, New York, just south of Troy. If you've ever traveled Route 2 to Grafton State Park, you may have remembered seeing an old railroad car sitting in the bushes.

It stayed there until the town highway department decided to move it and drop it in a dumptser.

Other cars from this purchase ended up on the island of Cuba. I'm not 100 percent sure, but one of them may remain in service in Cuba.}
