1059, an 1895 twenty-foot closed car of the West End Street Railway Company, at the Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine. This car was built by the Barney and Smith Car Company of Dayton, Ohio for the railway, which was the predecessor of the Boston Elevated Railway, Metropolitan Transit Authority, and today's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The car was used as a "fare box repair car" from 1915 on, prior to retirement. Oddly enough, few of these cars survived use beyond 1917, with only a handful left by that time.
