Hi June,

I sent Angelo and John, the Brophy Tract ad with a representation of an OSR rail car on it. Neither thinks it showed one the company ever owned. Below is John Schmale’s reply. Enjoy. John— On Thu, 6/11/09, John Schmale<[email protected]> wrote:

Hi John,

The illustration is of a car which Ocean Shore officials only dreamed of before the quake of 1906. They never owned a real interurban car. That illustration looks like a Key System car from the east bay. Thanks for sending it.

Regards, John
