162 went down to Orange Empire in Perris, the wrecker 0131 which was rebuilt and returned to passenger service early in the Trolley Festival days regaining it original number of 130.
Double ended PCC 1008 became the wrecker as it could run in the Metro tunnel. It had been equipped with a pantograph to test wire in the tunnel.
For a time, 178 from Rio Vista, was leased by the MUNI and was used both in regular and charter service. It is back at Rio Vista. There is one other car at Rio Vista.
