It was originally a Cleveland Railway Company trailer. It was<BR>delivered to Cleveland Railway on March 2, 1918 and continued as a<BR>Cleveland Railway trailer car until it was sold to Shaker Heights Rapid<BR>Transit on October 26, 1946. The car was originally built by G. C. Kuhlman<BR>Co. It was 49 feet long, had seats for 59 passengers, ran on Brill 67F<BR>trucks and weighed 25,900 pounds. The original cost of the car was<BR>$2,760.30. This series' nomenclature (given by Cleveland Railway Co) was<BR>"Arch Roof Trailer".<BR><BR>It began in Shaker Heights Service in 1947 (exact date unavailable). it had<BR>"cable" MU couplers, was renumbered to 58 and stayed in SHRT revenue<BR>service until sometime in 1948. At that time is was towed to Van Aken Yard<BR>and made a "permanent" trainman's locker room and office. This "permanent"<BR>assignment lasted until April 3, 1968 when it was towed to Kingsbury Run<BR>Shops. In 1968 it was sold to Gerald E. Brookins and moved to Trolleyville<BR>in 1968. It was almost totally restored to its original Cleveland Railway<BR>appearance even to the Peter Smith coal stove. It was stored at<BR>Trolleyville and what has happened to it since the demise of the<BR>Trolleyville collection I do not know. I suppose it's somewhere in the U.S.<BR>at some trolley museum.<BR><BR><BR>On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 2:32 PM, Bob Rathke <bobrathke@comcast.net> wrote:<BR><BR>><BR>><BR>> Getting back on track, I am attaching three photos that I took on the SHR<BR>> T in the mid-60's:<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> - PCC 94 at Shaker Square on 9/15/66 (94 is now at PTM).<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> - PCC 95 at Shaker Square leading an outbound 3-car train onto the Van<BR>> Aiken line on 9/15/66.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> - Body of a double-end trolley that may have been used as an<BR>> office/storage facility.
