A78-A177

Single truck, wood, open platform, trailer cars A78 to A177 were built by J.G. Brill in 1903 on construction no. 12716.  Brill provided only the bodies; there was no matching truck order.  Apparently Lord Baltimore or Peckham trucks were salvaged from older cars being scrapped.   Body length: 20’0”.   Overall length: 28’-5”.   Removals from the roster encompassed the period from 1911 through 1927 but most cars were sold or scrapped in 1924 and 1925.    Thanks to Fred Schneider for this information .

This looks like the official portrait of A81.
