I have an individual who needs a drawing or side view photo of Freight Motor 817. It was cut down from a possible passenger traction car into the freight motor. This took place around Ft. Wayne.

Any help would be appreciated.

I did a search. Found this site(<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr1876.htm">http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr1876.htm</a><!-- m -->). No pics of 817, but some neat info on others, that maybe close.

I didn't find a picture, but that particular motor is mentioned HERE. Scroll about one quarter of the way down the page. They seem to know about it from personal experience and may be able to suggest a source for photos or drawings. They also offer an HO scale model of it, #772-0073, designed for a Bowser mechanism.
