The cars were numbered 735-768, later renumbered to 1735-1768. In 1928 the two GE traction motors were replaced with Westinghouse motors and control equipment. In 1957 1753 was converted to work motor S-332, rebuilt to Derrick Car S-332 in 1965, equipped with 6000 series couplers in November 1975. |
