Lehigh Valley Transit City-Suburban Car 913         
A Lehigh Valley Transit "Tenth Street Car" pauses to pick up passengers across the street from the interurban and streetcar company's 8th Street and Hamilton Street ticket office in the heart of Allentown's business district, while one of Allentown's finest direct's traffic (and Red Devil #1020 departs behind his arm). Car #913 is a 1918 product of J.G. Brill (one of a group of 39 all steel, center-entrance 2-man cars for the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton Division of LVT). Like its order-mates, this car was modernized into a one man, single door car, allowing it to run into the 1950s. They were the mainstay of the Mincie Trail line, the main line between Allentown and Bethlehem. Color scheme was Mountain Ash Scarlet with cream trim.
