I'd say somewhere around Cleveland? I think PRR and/or NYC use to lease these BAR geeps when it wasn't potato season in Maine.

It is not Cleveland but close to Cleveland. Good first try.

PRR leased the BAR geeps. They spent about 6 months of the year on BAR, the other 6 on PRR and was in the purchase agreement.

This was in Akron, Ohio at the PRR yard which was located near the Firestone Tire plant.
