Third Avenue Railway System 220

One of several single-truck streetcars at the Shore Line Trolley Museum that have been beautifully restored, this particular example was built as a cable car by Laclede in 1892 and electrified in 1899. It survived in work service until 1948, when it was acquired by SLTM. It has been completely restored and is one of the oldest operating electric cars in the country.
