This section includes notes about Work Motor 950 within the 900 series. The notes are typed on the back of recycled paper. [Transcription of the typed notes:] Freight Motor #81, (1st) #850 and #950 Texas Traction Company, in 1908, built one new 600 volt work motor numbered #81. In 1913 this car, #81, was renumbered (1st) #850 in accordance wth the combined numbering scheme of Southern Traction Company and Texas Traction Company (integrated with both companies). In 1917 this car, (1st) #850, 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, (1st) #850, was used as a 600 volt work motor by Texas Electric Railway until 1929, at which time it was renumbered #950 and continued as a 600 volt work motor. This car, #950, was used as a 600 volt work motor until the final days of Texas Electric Railway Company in 1948, at which time it was dismantled. |
