This section includes notes about car 45 / 454 within the 400 series. The notes are typed on the back of recycled paper. [Transcription of the typed notes:] Passenger Coach Trail Car #45 - #454 Texas Traction Company, in 1911, purchased two second-hand passenger coach motor cars from American Car Company, numbers unknown. Of these two cars, reworked, renumbered and delivered as passenger coach trail cars by that company, #45 was one. In 1913 this car, #45, was renumbered #454 in accordance with the combined numbering scheme of Southern Traction Company and Texas Traction Company (integrated with both companies). In 1917 this car, #454, was transferred to the then formed Texas Electric Railway, where it continued as the same type, bearing the same number, and was assigned the same tasks as formerly given it by Texas Traction Company. This car, #454, was used as a passenger coach trail car by Texas Electric Railway until approximately 1932, at which time it was withdrawn from service and placed in storage This car, #454, remained in storage until (probably) 1935, at which time it was removed from storage and destroyed. |
