St. Louis Public Service 215-I

The first St. Louis rail grinder numbered 215 was this car, built by Brownell in 1892 as a streetcar. It later saw service as a railway post office car and a door repair car before running up until 1946 as a rail grinder; in 1947 it was acquired by the Museum of Transportation and is currently in storage there.
