Shelburne Falls & Colrain car No. 10 sat on Marshall Johnson’s farm for 65 years, serving as a chicken coop, tool shed and playhouse (left). After being rescued by the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum in 1991, the car now wanders along a quarter-mile route on the original right-of-way of the SF&C (opposite). No. 10 was built by Wason Manufacturing Co. in 1896 and was in regular service for 30 years.

Part of one side sill, window sills and sash, and the roof had to be replaced. Old tires and concrete blocks had been piled on the roof to hold down the roofing pa- per. The resulting weight caused some dis- tortion to the body lines, but this has been straightened by shimming at key points. The baggage-end vestibule was badly rotted and needed complete rebuilding.
