Jim Scott is talking with
Vatterott
College, and the trades director, Richard Lofftus. He told him who we are and asked if they would be willing to finish building the three remaining Wagner replacement cars. He was very receptive to the idea. We would furnish the material and they do the labor. We would have to have inspections of the cars at various stages of construction. They would build the frame, floor, skeleton, and doors of the cars, and we finish with the skin and seats.
