Cleveland Railway Co car #907 was built in 1910 by Kuhlman. It was rebuilt
by Cleveland Rlwy Co in 1915 to a Peter Witt configuration and was scrapped
on 9/20/1929. The car was 52' 6" in length, weighed 48,480 lbs, used Brill
27-G1 trucks and had seats for 55 passengers.
The model is AFTER the rebuilding into a Peter Witt type car. The original
door arrangement was front and rear doors.
