FORT WORTH — As a giant crane hoisted the fully restored M&O Subway No. 1 car onto its new display pad, a light morning rain fell Monday in downtown Fort Worth, causing the old vehicle’s fresh coat of light blue spruce paint to glisten.

The subway car will be the centerpiece of a museumlike display at One City Place, a retail/office development built by Spire Realty that is scheduled to open in January at the former Radio Shack headquarters in downtown Fort Worth.
