Experimental 6000s

Three experimental were built in 1928-1929 for PRCo by Osgood Bradley Car Co. These were ultra-lightweight aluminum-bodied cars that set new standards in acceleration and speed. An excellent booklet on these cars is available from the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum.

6000 and 6001 were essentially the same except for the trucks.
