1700-1799
The 1700 series were Pittsburgh's only all electric cars with standee windows. A ventilating monitor ran the length of the roof, windows were sealed. 1700 cars were slightly longer and the right windshield was curved to make room for the angled windshield. Built by St. Louis Car Co. Twenty-five of these cars were outfitted as interurbans.
Shortly after arriving on November 1, 1948 1700 is posed for publicity photos at the Millvale Car House.
