the last of the 9-11 saved items are moving onto museums


Found in the parking garage under the World Trade Center towers. A few Port Authority Police Department vehicles are all that remain of a fleet of damaged and destroyed vehicles that were stored in the hangar. Car No. 52320, in the foreground of this photograph, is destined for the Fire Department of Weymouth, Mass., Ms. Dumas said. Artifacts have been distributed to institutions in every state and in Afghanistan, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, Germany, Ireland and South Korea.


There were six empty PATH cars still in the station at that time, three of which were badly damaged and three were not, including Car 745, the head car. The lead car is now at the Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven, Conn. Its companion is still unclaimed.
