PCS Michigan Chapter President
From the letter that Brady received from Tom Gibson:
This may have been mentioned before, but it is a valid concern, especially considering that the brass data plate on the BJ car is quite bent up. Surprising to see that on such an "untouched" car. There are data plates on trashed junkyard cars with fewer bends in them.
My belief is that the brass plaque was removed from the car before its crushing, and by some strange twist wound up with the B-J car. People save all kinds of souvenirs, and I would have done it if I'd been there.
