I just heard that the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio will close in a couple of months, taking with it the Texas Transportation Company which switches cars between the plant and the SP interchange using a couple of electric locomotives. Can anybody confirm (or hopefully deny) this rumor?<br> Charlesebrown@webtv.net |

Are there any plans to save the operation as a heritage trolley line? I'm sure one of the Texas traction outfits would like to get the freight motors.<br> jftrolley@aol.com |

<br>Is there any chance of having a farewell party where both locomotives could be run for the benefit of us railfans? Maybe the last weekend before closure? And maybe have cab rides (okay okay I know that's pushing it)?<br> Charlesebrown@webtv.net |

What ever happened to San Antonio car 300, which i believe ran on this track in the 1980's? And if the brewery were to close and become a new loft condominium complex, would it make any sense to turn the line into a permenant historic fixture or even a part of the transit system?<p>O.

This car was for several years at Gales Creek, Oregon. Over a year ago the City of Astoria, Oregon got a long term lease from its owner, the San Antonio Museum of Art. My last information is that it is inside a votech school/college in Astoia being restored. They plan on running it in the future with a generator car on the former BN line which the city owns.<br> garyland@stoneconsulting.com |

<br>While we're on the subject, does anybody know anything about the San Antonio Car Company? According to Andrew Young's Veteran & Vintage Transit, they did the restoration of #300 and they also have 3 other San Antonio streetcar bodies and a horsecar. <p>Also, if memory serves me (which it seldom does these days), wasn't #300 restored using the body of another car (#309?) with parts & equipment transferred from the original #300? If so, what happened to the original body of #300?<br> Charlesebrown@webtv.net |
