Interurban rail car No. 411 arrived around noon Thursday in Old Town. The car is draped with awnings on the front, window detail and a sign reading "Limited Fort Worth Dallas," perhaps indicating its original use. The city owns one restored interurban rail car and has placed it on city property adjacent to the Burleson Visitor's Center, 124 W. Ellison St. Car No. 411 will be housed in the old service center area until it is restored.
