"""Cars 8 and 9 were single truck, 28’-0 ½” safety cars acquired 
third-hand in April 1927. According to Harold Cox, The Birney Car, the 
two cars were built for the Medway and Dedham St. Ry. Co. (owner) and 
used on the Milford and Uxbridge St. Ry. Co. (operator), of Milford, MA, 
by Wason Car and Mfg. Co. in 1919 (order 103K). The Wason order 
consisted of four cars numbered 100-103. Following the 1924 closure of 
the M&U, two of the cars became Exeter, Hampton and Amesbury St. Ry. 
Co., Exeter, NH, cars 2 and 14. The Exeter property folded in 1926, and 
both cars were acquired by Pittsburgh Railways in 1927. Control: 2 K63. 
Motors: 2 Westinghouse 328. Truck:: Brill 79E1. Seats: 29. Weight: 
29,000 lbs. Both cars burnt at West Park on May 4, 1932."""
