Public Service Open Cars |
| Description: |
Photographer Richard H Young of Clifton, New Jersey took this shot of 1915 era and 1917 era open Public Service double trucked trolleys sitting out the cold days of November in Newark, while a more appropriate for the season closed car (I think a 2600 series, maybe) sits under the barn. Built by Public Service, the open cars had 16 benches and were as described, wide open to the elements, and thus, only for summer or spring use. |

Public Service Freight Motor |
| Description: |
Image was captured by Richard H. Young of Clifton NJ. Per his notes, "Public Service Coordinated Transport freight motor #5218 rests on a siding in the Hackensack Car Yard two days before abandonment of the Hudson River Line." That being said, this trolley looks exactly like the Line Cars in the book "Public Service Railway Bergen Division" by Sennstrom and Francis, and I don't know of any freight on the Hudson River Line, so I believe that this is a 5400 series Line Car and would have later been numbered in the 5400-5419 block. I cannot explain the numbering discrepency. |

Public Service Plow at Roseville Car House |
| Description: |
Photographer Richard H Young of Clifton, New Jersey took this shot of Public Service Coordinated Transport plow #5245 sitting at the Roseville Car House, amid a collection of other none revenue cars. There is an unknown sweeper in front of it. To its side is another sweeper, #5190, and behind it is yet another sweeper, #5192. The Roseville Car House was in the Essex Division. Plow #5245 was built by Public Service Railways at their Plank Road Shops in 1921. It survives today at the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Brandford, CT, where it arrived on Jne 27, 2007, after being stored unused in the Newark City Subway for almost 55 years. |
