Notes:

Originally built by Wason Manufacturing Co. of Springfield, Massachusttes and operated by the Berkshire Street Railway, based in Western Mass. The car went into storage in 1922 and sold in 1932. The drivetrain was moved and scrapped, and the body placed on Rt. 20 in West Pittsfield, Mass. for use as a diner. Eventually encased in brick, the car suffered a damaging fire in 1994 and wad donated to the Seashore Trolley Museum, who brought it up in 1995 for restoration.

The car is in line for restoration, but still likely years away from the Town House restoration shop. It is covered up, but may be viewed (though not entered) upon request.
