- I don't know if anyone has ever posted about this, but Station Square in
- Pittsburgh has one of the old (maybe original) cars from the Racer at
- Kennywood. It's sitting out in the Bessemer Court Shops area across from
- one of the entrances to the Station Square Shops (the entrance next to
- Casual Corner). It's sitting next to an old foundry mold for an extremely
- large gear wheel.
-
- The car itself is in pretty bad shape - the seats are all ripped up, and
- the light blue paint is fading. But it's got the old Racer logo that I
- remember. There's also lots of junk littering the bottom of the car.
-
- If you're into coaster preservation, and you happen to be in the Pittsburgh
- area, you might want to stop down and take a look. It's just sitting there
- out in the open and unattended, so you can crawl around it (like I wanted
- to do, but it's hard to do when you're in a business suit and heels :-)
